In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of heavy cream, 2 cups of whole milk, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar is dissolved completely.
Pour the mixture into a large bowl and let it cool for a few minutes.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of pure peppermint extract and a few drops of green food coloring if desired, to achieve a minty green hue.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled to allow the flavors to meld.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
A few minutes before the ice cream is done, add 1 cup of dark chocolate chips and let the machine mix them in evenly.
Transfer the freshly churned ice cream to an airtight container. Press a piece of plastic wrap on the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze for at least 3 hours or until the ice cream is firm and scoopable.
Enjoy a scoop or two of your homemade Mint Chocolate Chip Extravaganza and savor every minty bite!
