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 🙂

Great ice cream flavor for the winter months! We just brought some, mint cookies and cream, ice cream. Definitely want to try and make it “Homemade” style.
It is so much better homemade 🙂

Oh man, mint chocolate chip is one of my all-time favorites! I am lactose sensitive now but I am tempted to deal with the consequences because this looks so yummy.
Thanks Ann! I am sure you can make it with lactose free cream and milk.
chocolate mint ice cream is my favorite flavor! unfortunately it’s really difficult to find here , so I’m going to try and make this myself! thanks!
Same here! That is why I am always making it myself!
Great recipe I haven’t had mint chocolate ice cream in so long. I’ve always loved mint chocolate even though no one in my family does.

I never tried making ice cream myself. Whenever I crave for it, I would just head to the grocery store and buy it. But this is easy to do! I should give it a try one of these days.
Thanks Erika! You should, it is so easy!
I love how bright the colour is, this looks so good and delicious.. Now the only thing I need to do is pin it and get me an ice cream maker.
Joan you must! An ice cream maker is a game changer!!
I've been looking for a recipe for mint chocolate ice cream, it's one of my favourite flavours. I don't have a regular schedule any more so I spend a lot of time cooking in the middle of the night. It's especially nice to wake up to ice cream for breakfast. 😉
