No Cook Mint Ice Cream Recipes

EASY MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the milk, cream, sugar, salt, vanilla extract and peppermint extract until the sugar has dissolved. Color to your liking with the green food coloring.
• Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. After about 10 minutes into the freezing, add the chocolate chips. After the ice cream has thickened, about 30 minutes later, spoon into a container, and freeze for 2 hours.

NO-CHURN FRESH MINT AND CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Bring mint and 1 cup cream to a bare simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit 30 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring glass, pressing on solids; discard solids. Chill cream until very cold, about 30 minutes.
• Just before cream is ready, heat chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let bowl touch water), stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth. (Alternatively, heat in 20-second increments in a microwave, stirring between bursts.) Mix together sweetened condensed milk and salt in a medium bowl.
• Pour remaining 1 cup cream into infused cream in measuring glass. (You should have 2 cups; add more if needed.) Transfer to a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat cream, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to medium-high as it thickens, until billowy and stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes.
• Add a dollop of whipped cream to condensed milk mixture and mix in with a rubber spatula (this is just to lighten it so that the next stage-folding-is easier). Add remaining whipped cream, then sift in cocoa powder. Fold in, running spatula down sides and along bottom of bowl, then lifting up through center and over top while rotating bowl to integrate without deflating, until very few streaks of condensed milk mixture remain and cocoa powder is combined.
• Scrape about one quarter of ice cream base into a loaf pan that's at least 8½x4½". Using a fork, drizzle about one third of melted chocolate over. Repeat layering process, finishing with a layer of ice cream base, to create 4 layers of ice cream base total and 3 layers of drizzled chocolate. Cover with plastic wrap or an airtight silicone lid and freeze until solid, at least 8 hours.
• To serve, transfer loaf pan to refrigerator and let ice cream soften 10 minutes before scooping into bowls.
• Do Ahead: Ice cream can be made 1 week ahead. Keep frozen.

MINT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Blend mint, milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt together on high speed until the mint leaf bits are tiny, about 1 minute. Add heavy cream and blend until uniform, about 15 seconds.

NO-CHURN MINT-CHIP ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together condensed milk, peppermint extract, and creme de menthe. In another bowl, beat heavy cream with salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into milk mixture, in two batches, until no streaks are left. Fold in chocolate. Transfer to a loaf pan; freeze for at least 6 hours and up to 1 month.

NO-COOK MINT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Using the back of a wooden spoon, crush mint leaves with sugar in a medium bowl until sugar resembles wet sand. Stir in milk and cream until sugar dissolves. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Strain mixture; discard solids. Freeze liquid in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight container, and freeze until set, at least 30 minutes. Ice cream can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer up to 1 week.
