Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream (Dairy Free)

Who says dairy free ice cream has to be boring? This Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream recipe is delicious, without a drop of dairy.

I’ve been testing dairy-free coconut milk ice cream recipes for an e-book I hope to release sometime this summer. I made this mint chocolate chip ice cream last week and it was a huge hit with the kids! (I’ve also tested great dairy-free recipes for chocolate ice cream, banana ice cream, and coconut ice cream. But I digress…)

This recipe is super simple, super easy to make, pairs amazingly with my dairy-free magic shell recipe, and is super refreshing on a hot summer’s day.

How to make dairy-free mint chocolate chip ice cream

First, let’s talk ingredients.

All you need is two cans of coconut milk, raw honey, peppermint extract, chocolate chips, and an ice cream maker.

Yes, you can use other dairy-free milks to make ice cream, HOWEVER – coconut milk and coconut cream really have the thickness and body you associate with good ice cream, I’ve found a lot of other dairy-free milks to be a little too thin. I wouldn’t recommend substituting other dairy milks for coconut milk in this recipe, because it’s designed with coconut milk’s thickness in mind.

Ok, once you’ve gathered your ingredients, the recipe is super easy from there.

• Start by mixing everything aside from the chocolate chips together in a blender or bowl.
• Mix in your chocolate chips, and then pour everything into the ice cream maker.
• Have the ice cream maker do its thing.

That’s it!
