Ingredients

Scale

Mini Witch Hats

  • 12 Mini Fudge Stripes Cookies
  • 12 chocolate chips
  • Tube of orange icing

Chocolate Pieces for Ice Cream

  • 1 cup melted chocolate almond bark
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Ice Cream

  • 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, a few drops
  • About 2 cups chopped chocolate pieces (from above)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Mini Witch Hats: Flip the fudge stripe cookies over so the chocolate side is facing up. Use the tube of orange icing to pipe a small blob in the center of each cookie. Press a chocolate chip into the middle of the orange icing to create a miniature witch hat decoration. Set aside.
  2. Make Chocolate Pieces for Ice Cream: Melt the chocolate almond bark following the package instructions. Stir in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Spread the chocolate mixture evenly onto a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  3. Harden and Chop Chocolate: Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Once set, chop the hardened chocolate into small pieces and set them aside for folding into the ice cream.
  4. Whip Cream Mixture: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form; this should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the mint chocolate chip extract and a few drops of green food coloring, then mix just until combined.
  5. Fold in Condensed Milk and Chocolate: Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream mixture until fully incorporated. Then fold in about 2 cups of the chopped chocolate pieces, reserving some for topping.
  6. Assemble and Freeze: Pour the ice cream mixture into a loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with the remaining chocolate pieces and place the mini witch hats on top or save them for serving. Freeze the ice cream for several hours or overnight, until firm.

Notes

  • Use full-fat heavy cream for best whipping results and creaminess.
  • Mint Chocolate Chip Extract provides the signature flavor; if unavailable, substitute with mint extract and mini chocolate chips.
  • The mini fudge stripe cookies can be purchased or homemade if desired.
  • Allow the ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature before scooping for easier serving.
  • If chocolate almond bark is not available, substitute with high-quality white or milk chocolate chips for melting.
