01
Step 1
Start by blending the mint leaves, milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt together on high speed until the mint is finely chopped and everything is well combined—this should take about a minute. Then, pour in the heavy cream and blend just until it’s mixed in, which only takes about 15 seconds.

Step 2
Next, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and let it churn according to the machine’s instructions, usually around 20 minutes. When there are about 5 minutes left, add the chocolate chips so they get evenly distributed.

Step 3
Once the ice cream is done churning, transfer it to an airtight container and pop it in the freezer for about 4 hours to firm up before serving.

How to serve
Serve this treat in chilled bowls or cones for an extra refreshing experience. It pairs wonderfully with fresh berries or a drizzle of dark chocolate sauce to add a contrasting richness.
Storage & leftovers
Store the ice cream in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and keep it fresh longer. Allow it to soften slightly at room temperature before scooping for the best texture.
