Mint choc chip.
Obviously.
Fresh mint ice cream packed with little chunks of chocolate. Cold, creamy, crunchy and objectively one of the best flavours ever created.
Get the scoopA suspiciously perfect combination.
Creamy ice cream, refreshing mint and enough chocolate to stop anyone accusing it of being toothpaste.
Fresh & Minty
Cool mint keeps everything refreshing, making it dangerously easy to keep going back for another scoop.
Chocolate Chips
Little chunks of chocolate give every bite some crunch and prevent proceedings from getting too sensible.
Elite Colour
Is the mint green necessary? Technically no. Does it make the ice cream significantly better? Absolutely.
I love Mint Ice Cream because it means I don't need to brush my teeth.
Not all tubs are created equal.
The supermarket freezer is basically a mint choc chip battleground. Here are a few of the big names you might encounter.
Connoisseur
Rich, creamy and firmly in the “I bought the expensive one” category. A solid choice when the ice cream is the event.
Peters
Straightforward, nostalgic and very capable of disappearing during a late-night trip to the freezer.
Ben & Jerry's
Known for being unapologetically excessive. If there's a minty option with chunks involved, expect subtlety to leave the room.
Baskin-Robbins
A classic mint chocolate chip option for people who prefer someone else to do the scooping.
Chocolate in every scoop.
A proper mint choc chip needs enough chocolate to create little crunchy hits throughout the ice cream.
Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, flakes, shards or chips — we're not here to discriminate.
The only real question is one scoop or three.
Grab a bowl, find the biggest spoon in the drawer and proceed accordingly.
