One of my favorite treats as a child was a scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream. I would swirl it about until it became soft then gobble it up. With this recipe, I found myself falling back into old habits.

It's Monday - and the first day of summer! And that should mean a new weekly theme for the next 12 weeks on PtS... But, it doesn't. Part of me wants to promise epic sandwiches for the theme, but I know that that's happening over at Girl Carnivore, and part of me was thinking frozen treats, so there we are, ICE CREAM! More importantly, Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream!

So going out to get ice cream is honestly one of my favorite things to do. But do you know what I like even more? Making my own. Blending just the right amount of flavors together and creating something that is altogether better than what I can get anywhere else, and exactly what I am craving at the moment. And at this moment, it is mint chocolate chip.

What makes this Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream the one that you want?

The Creme de Menthe. Yup. That is the secret. Slightly boozy ice creams are way smoother. The texture is right on point, and you will keep swinging your spoon back for more. There are a lot of good ice cream bases out there, but I am partial to this one. Try it yourself. It's that good. And it's that easy. Waiting six hours for it to harden is the hardest part.

Oh, and I do have a summer full of awesome giveaways for you. I mean... awesome. So, there's that. 😉

And now, on to the recipe.

I think ice cream should be mandatory once a week all summer long. If you really want to throw down with your ice cream maker, check these out!

    When I was little, I danced. After every recital, my dad would take me to Baskin Robbins for mint chocolate chip ice cream. So, I did a pirouette when I saw this. And squealed!

    You've hit on one of the few ice cream flavors that includes chocolate that I'll eat. Even though it's so rich and creamy,the mint make it refreshing and the tiny (very tiny) bits of chocolate are just the right complement. And just for the record, your photos are gorgeous but I would so not want to clean up three bowls after a shoot (lazy me).

    Oo, mint chocolate chip is the best summer flavor! No worries about getting a new theme running. I can't even manage to post regularly even without a job now! But I think I'm being lazy and you're super busy!
