Step by Step Instructions:

- In a separate large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, mint extract, syrup, and cookies. Gently stir.
- Fold in the whipped cream until smooth, being gently with the spatula.
- Transfer the mixture into a freezer safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.
Chocolate Mint Ice Cream Tips and FAQs:
- Use a chilled mixing bowl to whip the cream.
- Try not to overmix. This will decrease the air in the ice cream making it a tad thicker and less light and creamy.
- Invest in a quality container. This is the one (affiliate) we use and it helps reduce freezer burn.

OMG, so easy! I have to try this! If I want to make it more primarily mint with chocolate chips, do I just eliminate the syrup or replace it with something else? I cup is a lot so I don't want to mess up the recipe formula.
