Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

One year Scott bought me an ice cream maker attachment for my Kitchen Aid mixer. It might be one of the favorite gifts he's given me. It is so easy to use and makes enough ice cream for the 2 of us. Scott's favorite flavor is mint chocolate chip. This is the recipe that we use and it tastes a lot like Breyer's mint chocolate chip (but better!)

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream 
2 cups 2% milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. peppermint extract
3 drops green food coloring if you want, we prefer ours white.
1 cup shaved chocolate (or mini chocolate chips made smaller in a food processor)

In large bowl stir milk, cream, sugar, salt vanilla and peppermint extract (and food coloring) with a spoon until sugar is dissolved. Make ice cream according to your ice cream makers directions. If you're cool like me, yours will be done in 20 minutes and your taste buds will be so happy.
