Mint Chip Cheesecake Mousse

Can you tell? I kind of have a thing for cheesecake mousse/no bake cheesecakes/anything remotely related to cheesecake. It's true, I'm totally obsessed!
I love the mint chocolate chip combination so it only makes sense to combine that with cheesecake. I thought of doing a baked cheesecake with these flavors but I love these elegant individual servings and I also love the texture of a whipped up mousse. If you are looking for a dessert to make this weekend (or for any upcoming holiday or celebration) make these! They are irresistibly amazing to say the least!

Homemade Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

If you know much about me, then you know that ice cream is my favorite food — well, at least one of them I do have a few. Let's just say the ice cream maker I bought about 5 years ago has gotten plenty of good use. I've tried many different flavors and have have countless more flavors to go, because the flavor options are endless.

Today I'm sharing a recipe I just tried making for the first time, homemade mint ice cream made with fresh mint. This isn't just mint flavor here, this is made with the real deal.

It gives it so much fresh, natural flavor. I did choose to cut back on the fresh mint by half, just because I didn't want it to taste too earthy, then I replaced the amount I cut back with real mint extract (which has a less leafy flavor).

This mint chip ice cream recipe is definitely going to stay in my recipe book. It is amazing, to say the least. The chocolate and mint combination is a classic and this ice cream proves just how well the two ingredients were meant to be together.

You just can't go wrong with an ice cream recipe like this. Enjoy!
