Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups milk
• 1-1/2 cups best-quality heavy cream
• 1/3 cup instant nonfat powdered milk [improves consistency]
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 Tablespoon peppermint extract
• 1-1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate

Directions

Stir together sugar and nonfat milk in a mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup of the milk, stirring until smooth; then add the rest of the milk, the cream, and the peppermint extract, stirring until well-combined. Freeze in an ice-cream machine according to manufacturer's directions.
Meanwhile, snip a tiny piece off the corner of a zipper sandwich bag. Melt the chocolate gently in a small glass dish over hot water. When the
chocolate is melted and the icecream is finished freezing, use a rubber scraper to get the melted chocolate into the plastic bag near the snipped
corner. While the machine is still churning, squeeze the chocolate into the ice cream in a stream; it will break into little 'chips' as it hits the frozen mass.
