Ingredients

60 mint chocolate bar
100 – 200g chocolate chips
2 tsp peppermint
1 tsp green food colouring

500ml cream
1 tin of condensed milk
½ tsp vanilla extract

Mint Ice Cream with Chocolate Chips – Method & Instructions

Pour the cream into a large mixing bowl and whisk until it is firm.

Empty the tin of condensed milk to the cream and mix well.

Add the vanilla extract, peppermint and the food colouring to your mixture.

Stir it thoroughly to mix the green food colouring well. If you don’t it just means you may get white bits of ice cream but that is ok as it tastes the same.

The chocolate chips now need to be added and mix them into the mixture.

Crumble the mint chocolate bar by squashing it between your fingers or you can grate the chocolate if you prefer.

By adding the mint chocolate bar to your ice cream it just gives it an even more wonderful flavour and texture.

Put the mixture into a couple of containers.

Cover the ice mint ice cream with a bit cling film. Push the cling film to touch the ice cream to prevent freezer burn and to stop it sticking to the lid while it is freezing. Once the ice cream has frozen you can then discard the cling film.

Your delicious mint ice cream can now go in the freezer. It needs to be left for at least six hours. At least once, maybe twice it is a good idea to take it out and the freezer and mix with a fork within that six hour freezing time. But if you forget and don’t mix it in that time, it will still be fine.

Whenever you want to eat your homemade ice cream just take out the freezer and serve.

Enjoy making and eating this amazingly tasty homemade mint ice cream.

Ingredients

2 medium or 1 large banana
100g chocolate chips
250ml fresh cream

1 tin of condensed milk – 376g tin
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
100g bar of milk chocolate

Banana & Chocolate Ice Cream – Method & Instructions

Chop banana into pieces about half an inch thick.

Put chopped banana into the food processor.

Pour the fresh cream in with the banana.

Add the tin of condensed milk into the food processor too.

The vanilla essence needs to be added and then give the mixture a blast in the food processor for a few minutes.

Your chocolate form the chocolate bar needs to be broken up and added to the mixture in the food processor.

Give the whole thing another quick blast in the food processor. You don’t have to do this for too long as you want some big pieces of chocolate as well as small pieces mixed in.

If you don’t have a food processor, then it can be made by hand in a mixing bowl.

You would just need to mush up the banana with a fork and cut the chocolate up with a knife or a pair of scissors.

Take the blade out of the food processor and then pour your mixture into a container.

A tip would be to put the container into the freezer a few hours before or even the night before.

By putting your the creamy mixture into a very cold container, it would start to freeze quicker.

Into your ice cream mixture in the container you need to add the chocolate chips and mix it with a spoon.

The containers with the ice cream mixture will now need to go in the freezer.

Take out the container of your wonderful frozen dessert an hour later and mix well with a fork. The edged parts will be freezing first so it is important to mix well. Making sure the parts on the edge go into the middle and vice versa.

Keep stirring every hour.

Your frozen ice cream dessert will be fully ready in about 5 hours depending on your freezer.

To help dish up your yummy banana & chocolate ice cream more easily, it is a good idea to put your scoop in a cup of boiling water for a few minutes before using.

This allows your scoop to get nice and hot and this makes it so much easier to scoop up.

When you have served your ice cream, a good touch would be to crumble a flake over the top and then place a bit of the flake into it for decoration and of course as an additional little treat. MMmmmmm!!!!

A wonderful frozen ice cream dessert to be enjoyed, so I hope you have enjoyed this recipe.
