Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, gently melt white chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly.
- Wash and pat dry the fresh mint leaves. Finely chop the mint leaves to release their essential oils and maximize flavor.
- In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and whip using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Gradually fold in the sweetened condensed milk and peppermint extract, ensuring the mixture remains light and airy.
- Gently fold the chopped fresh mint leaves into the cream mixture, distributing them evenly.
- Transfer half of the cream mixture to a freezer-safe container, then drizzle half of the melted white chocolate over the surface.
- Use a knife or skewer to create gentle swirling patterns with the white chocolate throughout the mixture.
- Repeat the layering process with the remaining cream mixture and white chocolate, creating additional swirls.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Tips
- Ensure your heavy cream is very cold before whipping for the fluffiest texture.
- When melting white chocolate, use low heat and stir constantly to prevent scorching.
- For the most intense mint flavor, use fresh mint leaves and chop them finely.
- Allow the ice cream to soften slightly before serving for the most luxurious scooping experience.
- For a more pronounced mint flavor, you can slightly increase the peppermint extract.
- Use a freezer-safe container with a tight-fitting lid to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- For picture-perfect swirls, use a thin knife or skewer when creating white chocolate patterns.
- This dessert can be made up to a week in advance, making it perfect for meal prep and entertaining.
