Welcome to the weekend friends! I think its time to celebrate with a tub of Choc Mint Cookie Crunch Ice Cream. This easy no churn recipe will have you sampling a bowl of homemade ice cream in no time. If peppermint patties or junior mints are your candy of choice, then you will go nuts for this triple chocolate treat.
Creamy chocolate peppermint ice cream that is studded with mint chocolate pieces and chunks of choc mint cookie. A must for all choc mint enthusiasts!
I love making homemade ice cream. It is so e-a-s-y. And it tastes delish. Plus it gives you the chance to get really creative. I loved my American Rocky Road Ice Cream I made a few months ago, so I thought it was time for another chocolate ice cream treat. I’ve been on a little bit of a choc mint roll lately. I think it started when I began munching on those Thin Mints I stashed in my suitcase coming back from the USA. And you remember those Perfectly Peppermint Chocolate Cookies I made?
This ice cream is perfect for choc mint lovers. It’s pretty much triple chocolate mint ice cream. It begins with a chocolate peppermint base that is then loaded with chocolate peppermint pieces. I used Andes peppermint chips that I had from the USA, but you could use any choc mint chocolate chopped finely. The cookie crunch comes from crushed pieces of Thin Mints, but again you can use your favourite choc mint biscuits. This Choc Mint Cookie Crunch Ice Cream really is a tasty treat!

Oh YUM!
Caroline says
so if I’m using whipping cream, would I still need to whip it before I fold it in, or would just using dream whip be easier?
Jessica Holmes says
Yes please Caroline! So if your cream is not already whipped, please whip it beforehand and then gently fold it in. I’m unsure what dream whip is (we don’t have that here) but I have heard of cool whip being substituted for whipped cream in other no churn ice cream recipes. I haven’t tried this myself though. Hope that helps!
Alicia says
When making this you should whip the 1 3/4 cup heavy cream before stirring it in? Thanks!
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Alicia, thanks for asking. Yes, please whip your heavy cream first and then gently fold it through. Let me know if you need any more help! 🙂
