Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.333 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 1.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 0.5 cup Fresh spinach leaves (optional, for natural green color)
- 0.5 cup Mini Andes mint chocolates (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional, for extra chocolate flavor)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and spinach leaves if using. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth. The spinach will create a natural green color without altering the taste.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or peppermint flavor as needed by adding more honey or peppermint extract in small increments.
Pour the blended mixture into your ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Once the mixture begins to thicken and resemble soft-serve ice cream, fold in the chopped Andes mint chocolates and optional dark chocolate chips by mixing gently with a spatula.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
Scoop and serve with additional crushed Andes mints or chocolate shavings on top for garnish, if desired.
