Mint Chocolate Chip No-Churn Ice Cream

March 7, 2016 by rachelle 45 Comments

Mint Chocolate Chip No-Churn Ice Cream

Mint Chocolate Chip No-Churn Ice Cream

 

Y’all, I did not have the heart to use a bunch of food coloring to turn my Mint Chocolate Chip No-Churn Ice Cream green.  It just wasn’t necessary.  Just because something tastes green (sort of? mint? right?) doesn’t mean it has to look green.  And if we’re going to be totally honest here, I kind of feel like I own the St. Patrick’s Day holiday because it’s also my birthday.  True story.  The day of my birth is the holiday of the St. Patrick.  My 21st birthday was an interesting one! 🙂

 


Mint Chocolate Chip No-Churn Ice Cream

 

I made this ice cream not only in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day and all things green, but also in the spirit of this fantastic dairy from back in the day that had an awesome little ice cream shop in the middle of nowhere.  They had the best chocolate chip ice cream I’ve ever had in my life.  Until now. Now, we’ve added mint and it was an excellent idea.  No kidding.  The dairy has the best chocolate chip ice cream because, well, they’re a dairy (duh – they totally know what they’re doing), but also, they don’t put chips in the ice cream – they use chocolate shavings.  Genius.

 

Mint Chocolate Chip No-Churn Ice Cream

 

I’ve gotta tell y’all, that there is no limit to the amount of green food and gifts that I have received as birthday gifts.  I have definitely had my share of oddly colored bright green ice cream.  I’ll just be honest here.  It’s not my jam.  But this is a judgement free zone, so if you like your mint chocolate chip ice cream to glow?  No worries.  No judgments.  We can still be friends.

P.S. In case you are not seeing a theme here?  The theme is that my birthday is on St. Patrick’s Day and I’m planning to celebrate for the next two weeks.  Thank goodness I’m still 29.  Cheers, y’all!

    I love that you didn’t use food colouring in this. It always puts me off a bit when I see bright green ice cream.

    I knew your birthday was on St. Pattys day… I feel special. Wait or are you supposed to feel special since this is your couple weeks long birthday celebration? Shoot. I demand you go eat some of this outrageously delicious ice cream right now so you feel special again, in case I just stole your thunder. 😉 Love this minty ice cream, Rach! Mint chocolate chip ice cream is boys favorite, so you knoe I’m going to have to not churn him some immediately. Love that you didn’t use food coloring in it, too! Au-natural baby! Pinned! Cheers, sweets! Xoxo

    PS I see a long pin. Woot. High five!

    Chocolate shavings, eh? Now that is genius for sure! But how awesome is it that your birthday is on St. Patrick’s Day? I mean, I guess it could have been annoying when you were a kid and having to make sure you didn’t get pinched…but still. Did you ever get a pot of gold for your birthday? Eh, forget the pot of gold. Just give me a pot of this ice cream for my birthday, and I’ll be a happy camper!

    That’s exciting that your birthday was on St. Patrick’s Day! And I can only imagine all of the green gifts you received over the years. This ice cream sounds delicious, Rachelle! And the green is definitely not needed…love the flavor!

    Okay, you made my FAVORITE ice cream flavor in the whole wide world!! And I love chocolate shavings instead of chips. Chips are too hard and disrupt the smooth and creaminess of the super chill ice cream. Plus I like that you didn’t put food coloring in there but truth…I like my mint ice cream green. I don’t know why, I just do. Must be from my childhood when additives were cool. Wish we lived closer because I’d so celebrate your 29th bday with you 🙂

    So, first of all – you know how I feel about no-churn…THE BEST! And this is no exception – and honestly, the fact that it is not fluorescent green makes me all the happier! When Dom and I were in Italy a couple years ago we went on a gelato tour (yeah, rough…) but they said – when you see the brightly colored cream – it’s not real – it should be the color of the food and last we checked – pistacchio is not bright green. Which brings me to your natural color here – THE BEST! Happy 29th Birthday Month!

    Wait…what happened on your 21st? Full disclosure, perchance?
    I’m glad you didn’t dye it. I like natural colors without the crazy green! It looks amazing!

    Happy early birthday! All I can say is the taste is in the pudding, or in this case…the ice cream. It doesn’t really matter to me if mint chocolate chip is green—as long as it tastes minty and yummy. And this looks SOOO good!! I love that it is no churn since I don’t own an ice cream maker.

    I’m a firm believer that birthdays should be celebrated all month long! Especially those that fall on a holiday like St. Patrick’s Day. This makes me so excited to start making ice cream again — no churn, it’s just the best isn’t it? Love mint chocolate chip, and 100% support that you didn’t add any green dye to it, it’s perfect this way! Happy birthday month to you!
