Begin the recipe by using a medium-size mixing bowl on a stand mixer. Add in the 2 cups whipping cream and use a mixer on medium speed to begin whipping until stiff peaks form.
Pour in the 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk and continue mixing at low speed until the mixture begins to thicken.
Add in the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 vanilla bean. Mix until combined.
Place the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for 4 to 6 hours. Remove from the freezer to serve in an ice cream cone or bowl. Enjoy!
Store the mint chocolate ice cream in an airtight freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 5 days.
Notes
Make sure that you are using the correct ingredients. The ingredient list is short, so you certainly want to make sure that you select the right items.
Be sure to whip/mix the whipping cream until stiff peaks form, this will help the ice cream to set.
If you cannot locate vanilla bean or prefer not to use it, then you may omit it.
Keep in mind this is a homemade ice cream recipe and it will probably melt quicker than machine-made ice cream, so plan to serve shortly after removing it from the freezer.
