Peppermint extract, peppermint cookies, and peppermint dark chocolate, what’s not to love? This ice cream has the perfect balance of cool mint and rich chocolate that leaves you feeling refreshed and satisfied.

With spring days soon melting to hot summer days it’s time to get your ice cream makers out if you aren’t using them! Ice cream is one of my favorite treats, that and hot cocoa.

Since I was little I have LOVED mint chocolate chip ice cream. There is chocolate and mint, what’s not to like? It was one of the first ice creams I decided to make when I bought my machine. It’s such an obsession that I made a quick and easy version and a milk shake.

With all those variations it leaves one to ask, “Is another mint chocolate ice cream post really necessary?” Yes, it is because this version is extra special. It is triple mint which means it has even more goodness. Picture your favorite mint chocolate chip ice cream, now combine that with cookies and cream and your favorite mint chocolate bar. See, I told you it would get better.

This ice cream has the perfect balance of cool sweetness that leaves you feeling refreshed and satisfied. I think that is what originally drew me to the dessert, the mint cuts back on the sweetness that I normally find overwhelming in ice creams from the store.

      Thank you so much for taking the time to ask! I left them out of the ingredient list but added them to the instructions. I corrected the recipe. That was a help to me and any other reader, I really appreciate it. I’m sorry I missed it the first time.

    Oh my goodness, this sounds so delicious. I haven’t been buying ice cream because of all of the additives and food dyes (who needs green ice-cream?). I am going to have to get a ice cream maker now.
