Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mint Chocolate Chip Strawberry Ice Cream Delight.
Step 1
Start by gathering your ingredients and a mixing bowl. In the bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, white sugar, and pure peppermint extract. Whisk them together until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. This creamy base is the heart of your ice cream, so make sure it's well blended!
Step 2
Next, pour this delightful mixture into your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and let it churn for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until it thickens to a soft-serve consistency. The anticipation of that creamy goodness is half the fun!
Step 3
Once your ice cream is slightly thickened, it's time to add the fun stuff! Gently fold in the finely chopped dark chocolate and the diced fresh strawberries. This is where the magic happens, as the chocolate and strawberries will create delicious pockets of flavor throughout your ice cream.
Step 4
Allow the ice cream maker to mix in the chocolate and strawberries for an additional 3 to 5 minutes. This will ensure that every scoop is bursting with minty, chocolaty, fruity goodness!
Step 5
Finally, transfer your ice cream to a lidded container and freeze it for a few hours to firm up. When you're ready to indulge, scoop out a generous portion, and enjoy the refreshing taste of your homemade mint chocolate chip strawberry ice cream!
How to Serve
Serve in chilled bowls or cones, and garnish with extra chocolate shavings or fresh strawberry slices for an extra touch of elegance!
How to Store
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. It will keep well for about 2 weeks, but it's best enjoyed fresh for optimal flavor and texture.
