Both of my children LOVE mint ice cream. We make it quite often. Recently when making a batch I wanted to spruce it up a bit.
I thought about adding some cocoa (who doesn’t love mint and chocolate together?). That reminded me of Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies. Inspired by this classic cookie I came up with my dairy free” Thin Mint” Cookie ice cream.
This ice cream is filled with mint and chocolate flavor. Plus you get the crunchy chocolate cookie taste as well.
“Thin Mint” Cookie ice cream is a treat just about anyone can enjoy. You can replace the coconut milk with cream if you tolerate dairy.
Scoop yourself a big bowl of “Thin Mint” Cookie ice cream, add a little chocolate sauce and enjoy. What a great way to celebrate the start of the school year. Remember, summer isn’t over quite yet!
