I've shared before that mint chocolate chip ice cream is my favorite. It reminds me of my childhood and was always my first choice on any ice cream trip. While playing around in the kitchen, I decided it was time to try out homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream.

After some research, I looked at dozens of ice cream machines - all of which cost more than I'd like to spend on a kitchen gadget that only does one task. Now if these machines also emptied my dishwasher and folded my laundry, I would consider purchasing one.

This is how my no churn mint chocolate chip recipe was born. I tried to make this recipe with the least amount of ingredients as possible and I was able to exclude refined sugars. And I used dark chocolate chips which makes this 'healthy'. Dark chocolate has magical powers, doesn't it?! That makes it healthy!!
