another one of my favorite ice cream flavors is mint chocolate chip. using my basic vanilla ice cream recipe, i omit the vanilla and substitute mint extract. once the mixture is ready for the ice cream maker, i add a couple of drops of Wilton green food color. in order to keep a light green color, only a very small amount is necessary. chopped dark ghirardelli chocolate is added after the mixture has processed for 25 minutes. the ice cream is frozen in a stainless steel container.
serve a couple of scoops with a taste of chocolate bark. this recipe is easily made by melting chocolate in a double boiler, and then by adding a selection of dried fruit and nuts. this bark was made with diced dried apricots, dried cranberries, and peanuts. after cooling overnight in a quarter sheet pan, it is easily removed and broken into serving size pieces.
