Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (for the white chocolate swirl)
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Warm the heavy whipping cream with the fresh mint leaves over medium-low heat until steaming but not boiling. Remove from the heat and let steep for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Strain out the mint leaves and chill the mint-infused cream completely in the refrigerator.
- Melt the white chocolate with the 2 tablespoons of heavy cream until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Whip the chilled mint-infused cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt into the whipped cream until fully combined.
- Spoon half of the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe loaf pan.
- Drizzle half of the melted white chocolate over the mixture and gently swirl with a knife.
- Repeat with the remaining ice cream mixture and white chocolate, creating swirls throughout.
- Cover the pan tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until firm.
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before scooping and serving.
Notes
- Fresh mint provides the most natural flavor, but peppermint extract can be substituted sparingly.
- Add mini dark chocolate chips or chopped pistachios for extra texture.
- Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing to help prevent ice crystals.
- Store in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks.
- Allow the ice cream to soften for several minutes before scooping for the best texture.
