Mint Chocolate Chip Treat (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 1 cup whole milk
02 - 3/4 cup heavy cream
03 - 1/3 cup white sugar
04 - 1 tablespoon soft cream cheese

→ Flavorings

05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
06 - 1 teaspoon mint flavoring
07 - A few drops of green food dye (optional)
08 - 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips for adding in later

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Pop your cream cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for 10 seconds. Stir together the mint flavor, sugar, and cream cheese with a whisk until it looks smooth, kind of like frosting—this'll take about a minute.
02 - Bit by bit, add in the milk, heavy cream, and any food coloring you're using. Stir until the sugar vanishes and the mix looks uniform.
03 - Pour everything into the CREAMi™ Pint. Close it up with the lid, and stick it in the freezer for a full day—24 hours.
04 - Once frozen, take off the lid and pop the pint into the larger outer bowl. Hook up the Creamerizer™ Paddle to the lid, lock it onto the outer bowl, and set it on the motor base. Hit the ICE CREAM button and let it work its magic.
05 - Make a small hole in the center of the prepared ice cream, about 1½ inches wide. Toss those chocolate chips into the hole, then pick the MIX-IN option to combine.
06 - Take the ice cream out of the container and dig in immediately. Add your favorite toppings if you want.

# Additional Tips:

01 - This method is tailored for the Ninja CREAMi™ ice cream machine.
02 - You need to freeze for a full day (24 hours) before blending.
