Ingredients

12 Mini Fudge Stripes Cookies
12 chocolate chips
Tube of orange icing
1 cup melted chocolate almond bark
1 teaspoon coconut oil
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons Mint Chocolate Chip Extract
Green food coloring

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the mini witch hats by flipping the Fudge Stripes cookies over to reveal the chocolate side.
Step 2: Use the orange icing to pipe a small blob in the center of each cookie.
Step 3: Press a chocolate chip into the center of the orange icing on each cookie and set aside.
Step 4: Melt the chocolate almond bark according to package directions, then stir in the coconut oil until fully combined.
Step 5: Spread the chocolate mixture evenly onto a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone mat and let it harden for about 10 minutes.
Step 6: Chop the hardened chocolate into small pieces and set aside.
Step 7: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 8: Add the mint chocolate chip extract and a few drops of green food coloring to the whipped cream and mix until combined.
Step 9: Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and about 2 cups of the chopped chocolate pieces until incorporated.
Step 10: Pour the ice cream mixture into a loaf pan, sprinkle with some of the remaining chocolate pieces, and top with the mini witch hats or save them for serving.
Step 11: Freeze the ice cream for several hours or overnight until fully frozen before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream and condensed milk with coconut cream and a plant-based condensed milk alternative.
Use different flavored extracts like vanilla or peppermint if you prefer a different twist.
Add crushed candy canes for extra festive crunch and flavor.

Storage

Store the ice cream tightly covered in the freezer for up to 1 week for best texture and flavor. When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before scooping.

How to Serve

A clear glass is filled with three main layers of light green mint ice cream, creamy and soft in texture. Mixed throughout the ice cream are chunks of dark chocolate scattered unevenly, adding rough texture and dark brown color. On top, there are flat round pieces of chocolate decorated with a bright orange swirl in the center, positioned prominently as garnish. The glass is placed on a white marbled surface and the background is blurred, showing a dark candle holder with lit white candles and a skeleton figure in soft focus. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
