I used 1% milk and when frozen it turned out a bit "icey." Next time I think I would use at least whole milk so that it freezes to a creamy texture. I also shaved a chocolate bar with a veggie peeler.

We loved this, however, I used whole milk and it took longer in the freezer to set up. I also only used 3/4 tsp. peppermint and next time I will only use 1/2 tsp. I also used 3/4 tsp. vanilla and it was fine.

Excellent ice cream! We followed the recipe precisely - except that we found a new favorite use for candy canes! We put 20 or so mini candy canes in the handy chopper and YUM! We highly recommend trying this recipe :)

Mint choco chip ice cream is nearly impossible to come by in New Zealand, where I live and it is my favorite by far, so when I got an ice cream maker for Christmas I knew the most important recipe to find was this. I actually put in 3/4 cup of sugar and it is fantastic!

As a first time ice cream maker, this recipe was very simple to make. It tasted so delicous and creamy. Like others, I chopped a chocolate bar up, and it was GREAT!!! I will definitly make this again soon.

My niegbors and husband loved it! I made one minor change and made a custard base with eggs(3 yolks cooked with the cream unitl bubbles formed on the edges of the pot) to make a richer flavored ice cream.

i cut this recipe in half as i didn't know how it would turn out. now i wish i'd made a full batch! i used more peppermint and half the amount of vanilla. i thought the 2% milk wouldn't be as tasty as half-and-half, but it really is! i chopped up some semi-sweet chocolate chunks as well as shaving some of the chunks with my microplane. i think that makes a HUGE difference in the taste and texture. i will totally make this recipe again in the near future!

Very yummy!!! I chopped up the chocolate chips as well and will probably use shaved dark chocolate next time. I will also reduce the amount of vanilla because I'm looking for a really minty ice cream. Rave reviews when I served it to friends!!!

This ice cream is so smooth and creamy! I don't usually even like mint chocolate chip ice cream, and I have eaten almost half of this by myself!! I will for sure make this again! The only change I made was that I chopped up the chips like other reviewers did. Next time I am going to buy a chocolate candy bar and shave it with my veggie peeler.

This recipe is simple, but EXCELLENT! I am not even a fan of mint chocolate chip ice cream, but I am now. Per other reviewers suggestions, I did chop my chocolate chips before adding to the ice cream and it turned out wonderful. Highly recommend you give this recipe a try--very creamy!

Excellent recipe--very close to store-bought in creaminess and taste. I chopped the mini chocolate chips in the blender as suggested by others and was very pleased with the texture. This recipe is easy to make with ingredients on hand. It's a keeper for sure. My kids claimed it was the best ice cream EVER!!

Excellent recipe! I agree with other reviewers on chopping the chips. What I did was chop about 3/4 cup of chips and then 1/4 cup of Andres Chocolate Mints to up the mint flavor, but not too much. Also, I added the peppermint extract to taste. Finally, I have tried the recipe with 2% and whole milk. Personally, I find the whole milk freezes better and has a better consistency. Overall, an awesome recipe that I use as a "base" for other flavors. Many thanks!
