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!

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!

I loved this recipe so much that I am using it as the base for all my ice cream. I did use whole milk instead of 2%. I have also made vanilla from this as well as peach ice cream. I love the base and the texture it gives me when frozen. My family loves it. Next we are doing M%M ice cream for my granddaughter. This one is a winner.

I got my ice cream maker more than a year ago and we have never been able to find an easy recipe that was good...until now. This ice cream is absolutely delicious! It doesn't taste gritty (from not enough fat in the cream) or fatty (from too much heavy cream); it freezes really nicely (not super hard) and it doesn't contain eggs which we like. I used normal sized chocolate chips (tried to chop them in the food processor to no avail), but next time I will use shaved chocolate suggested by another reviewer. I ended up using the whole teaspoon of peppermint and 15 drops of green gel food colouring. I will use this ice cream base for all my future ice cream needs!

This is recipe is AWESOME!! For those who absolutely LOVE Mint Chocolate chip ice cream will LOVE this!! I did try and chop up the chocolate chips. I added them at the beginning of the mixture because I forgot that I was suppose to add them after 10 minutes and It still turned out great! Plus, and I don't know if this matters- I used Mint extract instead of peppermint. It's just plain AWESOME!! I will make this ALWAYS!! Way better than any store bought or ice cream shop! Thank you!!!!

This ice cream was pretty good, but a little too sweet for me. Also, if it's not frozen solid (either before going in the freezer or as it's melting), it's too thick. Needs less sugar, more mint, and the texture is off. But I made it for my husband and he loves it, and it's pretty good when it's totally frozen. I've made this a couple more times. Reducing the sugar to 3/4 cup makes a HUGE difference, I think it's much better. Try it.
