You only need 5 ingredients and 5 minutes to prep this mint ice cream--then just let it freeze!

Add the heavy whipping cream to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes, or until the cream forms stiff peaks. Add the green food coloring and mix just until combined (see notes).
2 cups heavy whipping cream, 1 drop green gel food coloring
Add the sweetened condensed milk and mint extract and fold them together gently.
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, ½ teaspoon mint extract
Once all of the sweetened condensed milk has been incorporated, add the chocolate chips and fold them in.
1½ cups chocolate chips
Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or a silicone ice cream tub and wrap it with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight freezer bag. Place the ice cream in the freezer overnight (or at least 12 hours).

Food Coloring: You only need 1 teaspoon of green gel food coloring to color this mint chocolate ice cream.
Make sure that you beat the heavy whipping cream until peaks form. This will be the base of your ice cream and you need it to be able to hold the rest of the ingredients.
Leave the ice cream in the freezer overnight to ensure it has had time to harden all the way through.

Storage: Store mint chocolate chip ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
