Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract, adjust to taste
- Green food coloring, a few drops for that festive color
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips, optional, for mint chip version
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups whole milk 1 cup heavy cream, and ½ cup granulated sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Stir in 1 teaspoon peppermint extract and a few drops of Green food coloring until you reach your desired shade of green.
- Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container. Make sure you do not go over the max fill line. Secure the lid and freeze on a flat surface for at least 24 hours.
- Place the frozen pint into the Ninja Creami machine and select the “Ice Cream” function. Let it process until smooth.
- If the texture looks crumbly, run the “Re-Spin” function once. That usually does the trick.
- If making ½ cup mini chocolate chips create a small well in the center of the ice cream and add mini chocolate chips. Use the “Mix-In” function to distribute evenly.
- Scoop into bowls or cones and top with whipped cream, green sprinkles, or chocolate drizzle for extra fun.
