The other night, when I was getting ready to go to sleep, I looked in the mirror to see some bloodshot eyes staring back at me.
No, it wasn’t Halloween, it was me. Staying up too late as usual. Well I tried going to sleep, but nothing was working. I was tossing and turning like crazy. So what did I do?

Made ice cream of course! Mint chocolate to be precise, because it’s getting closer to Christmas. Since I have not made anything Halloween themed, I need to make up for that in the weeks leading up to Christmas 🙂

And as always, if you try this recipe, let me know! Rate it, leave a comment and tag me with #atasteofmadness on Instagram! I always love seeing what you are creating!

- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the milk, cream, sugar, salt, vanilla and peppermint until the sugar is dissolved. Colour with a small amount of the food colouring.

It is still warm here so this ice cream is perfect while the weather still permits it!
so you made this in the middle of the night?! if im there, i would wake up and join you in the making!
Definitely one of my favorite ice creams! What a great looking scoop of deliciousness!!
Hi Cathleen! Paying you a visit back. You have great recipes here. Will explore more soon. I'm excited about home made ice-cream but haven't had the opportunity to try yet. I'm not a fan of mint ice-cream and I guess I can leave out the peppermint extract 🙂
Mint and chocolate is such a great combo! It's nice anytime, although as you point out we're coming into its season. Good job – thanks.
Perfect ice cream combo 🙂
Cheers

Ooo..very resfreshing taste. I love mint choc ice cream.
This was one of my favorite flavors as a kid. This looks like a tasty recipe!
you know, i didn't appreciate mint chip ice cream until a few years ago, and now i'm addicted. i think you may be swaying me to get an ice cream maker and start making my own! 🙂
I'm going to remember that the next time I can't sleep: make ice cream! 🙂 Love the color of this!
Mmmm….the mint lovers in my family would go nuts for your ice cream! Picture perfect!
Mint chocolates are one of my most favourite things so it goes without saying that I'd love this mint chocolate ice cream too. Perfect amount of green food colour too. Can you taste the coffee in it? (I dislike coffee).
