The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.79 star rating.

I need more stars! This turned out absolutely wonderful. I used mint extract, it's what I had on the spice shelf. I also bought Baker's semi-sweet chocolate in the squares and shaved it. That in itself is really what put this recipe over the top, although the basic ice cream recipe is great. I froze a small container for 2 weeks waiting to give it to a mint choc chip. lover I know. I was worried it would get icy or be harder that a rock. But, he thought he had died and went to heaven! I don't care for the recipes without cream, I think it's lacking, and if you freeze it it turns to ice.On the other hand I don't like it when there's so much fat that the roof of your mouth is grease coated, the flavor gets lost. It must be the 2% milk that prevented this. Sometimes you just have to realize that cutting calories in a recipe is not worth it. If your going to go to all the trouble it should taste pretty good, otherwise I'll just go to the store and buy ice milk! Thanks for the great recipe!

Great recipe, SO easy to make and change up if you wish. My only issue is that I could taste the salt. Next time I'm going to try 1/4 teaspoon instead.

This is wonderful! I replaced the milk and heavy whipping cream with half & half, extended the mixer to almost an hour, and let it chill overnight, but I stayed close to the recipe on all other counts. I admit that I was skeptical of a no-cook, no-egg recipe, especially when the pre-mixed ice cream had the suspicious consistency of milk. (This is after making incredibly rich ice cream that sticks to your mouth and feels like flan.) Nevertheless, it the recipe is incredibly easy--and much creamier than expected. Tired of the bitterness of the chocolate in store-bought ice cream, we grated a block of milk chocolate. Amazing. Will be making again!

We had issues with the peppermint extract in this recipe. I was looking for something that tasted like the kind of mint chocolate chip ice cream you buy in the store, but it did not. My husband said it tasted "weird". We tried again, this time with mint extract instead of peppermint, and what a difference. Much better with mint extract!

This is really good. Easy to make and has a wonderful flavor. Instead of the chips, I grated a good quality chocolate for more even distribution. Thank you for this recipe, we'll be making it often.

Made this recipe for my husband over the weekend. He said this was the best tasting mint chocolate chip ice cream he had ever had. He was like a little kid waiting for the ice cream to freeze in the ice cream maker. I used whole milk instead of 2% and chopped up Hershey bar, but I think I will try thin mint cookies next time. We like that the ice cream stays a soft consistency instead of freezing rock hard like some other homemade ice creams.

This recipe is the same as the basic vanilla recipe that comes with the ice cream freezer - just add mint, coloring and chips. I wish I hadn't, though. Turns out the mint flavoring I had in the cabinet is just that - flavoring. This needs EXTRACT. Even then, though, it's the reviewers suggestions that make this recipe good -- oreos, shaved chocolate... I suggest broken Keebler grasshopper cookies.

We used Baker's semi-sweet chocolate squares in place of chips, and replaced the milk and cream with all half&half, but otherwise we followed the recipe exactly. The ice cream was amazing - creamy and just perfect. We couldn't wait for it to freeze completely and ate it while it was the consistency of soft serve. We will definitely make this again!

SO EASY, and very tasty. I took the advice of another reviewer and shaved the chocolate with a vegetable peeler. Everyone loved this especially me!

The Best egg-less ice cream I've tried! I will also be using this basic recipe for all my ice cream flavors. The only thing I did different was use whole milk instead of 2%. Thanks for the recipe!

It hasn't dealt with the fat sticking to your mouth feel that I hate in ice cream.

Fantastic! Absolutely could not have worked out better. I just bought the KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker attachment for my KA stand mixer and this is the first recipe I've tried. It was so easy and turned out perfectly. Loved that it didn't include eggs and didn't need to be cooked. Thank you so much for posting this recipe... DH and the kids ate every bite and licked the bowls clean :)

Honestly, this is the best ice cream I have ever had. EVER. The creamy/icy ratio is perfect! The first batch we made, we did just chocolate chip and then the 2nd, we did mint choco chip. Both were incredible. we are using this recipe for all ice cream bases now. As for the chocolate pieces, I highly recommend shaving chocolate pieces off a bar of Ghiradelli Bittersweet Chocolate from the baking section in the grocery store. Use your potato peeler. This provides perfect texture and the bitterness of the chocolate counters the sweetness of the ice cream perfectly. YUM!
