This White Chocolate Mint Ice Cream may be the perfect St. Patrick’s Day dessert. It is green, and it is so good you just can’t get enough. I mean, honestly, I am not a huge mint fan, and I still can’t get enough of this! Despite the artificial green color, this ice cream has the unmistakable flavor of fresh mint. And, you could leave the green color out. I would except for St. Patrick’s Day. Make sure to use real white chocolate instead of waxy white chocolate chips. It makes a huge difference.
