Buttermint Ice Cream tastes just like those pastel colored old fashioned buttermints. The addition of white chocolate flecks in the ice cream gives you the texture of the mints.

Whenever I travel, at the top of my to do list is to check out the local ice cream spots. On a recent trip I had to visit Jeni’s. The employee recommended Savannah Buttermint Ice Cream and I am so glad she did. It tasted just like the old fashioned, pastel colored buttermints they always have at wedding receptions.

I loved it so much I had to come home and figure out how to make it myself since we don’t have a Jeni’s here in Portland. I pretty much hit it out of the ballpark with this recipe. It tasted just like the real thing!

This ice cream is not overly minty, more a hint of mint. It is creamy, smooth and buttery and just like the candy mints, it melts in your mouth. The flecks of white chocolate give it just a hint of texture. The ice cream is on definite repeat at our house this summer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will homemade ice cream last in the freezer?

Stored in an airtight, insulated ice cream container it will last for a couple of weeks.

Do I have to use an ice cream maker?

This homemade ice cream recipe is designed to be made in an ice cream maker and is not meant to be a no churn ice cream.

What kind of ice cream maker do you use?

I use a Cuisinart 2 qt. ice cream maker. I then transfer the ice cream into this insulated ice cream container to let the ice cream harden up.
