Instructions

Make the Ice Cream Mixture

Pour the ice cream base ingredients into a small blender and blend until all ingredients are fully combined. Pour this mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container.
Freeze on a level surface for 24 hours. Your freezer should be between 9 and -7 degrees Fahrenheit. To avoid getting a bump on the top of the frozen mixture, freeze with the lid off of the container.

Process the Ice Cream

After 24 hours, remove the pint container from the freezer.
Place the pint container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami and then process on "ICE CREAM."
If the ice cream is dry or crumbly looking, pour in a tablespoon or two of milk and then re-spin. You may have to repeat this process a couple of times.
Dig a hole in the center of the ice cream and squirt in the magic shell. Also, drizzle the magic shell over the top of the ice cream. Let it sit for about a minute so that the magic shell sets up and gets hard.
Put the pint back into the Ninja Creami and process on the "Mix-Ins" function. Once the Ninja Creami is finished processing, remove from the machine.
Remove the pint from the machine and enjoy!

Notes

What type of mint extract is in mint chocolate ice cream?

Peppermint or spearmint extract can be used. Spearmint extract is more overpowering and stronger in flavor, so peppermint extract can be a better option. In either case, a little goes a very long way. Always taste your ice cream base mixture before freezing to determine if you need more or less mint flavoring.

Why is some mint ice cream green and others white?

Green food coloring is added to mint ice cream to make it look green. The flavors are the same whether it is green or white. As companies move towards removing artificial ingredients, some have removed the green food coloring from their recipes.
