Your Blendtec blender can replace a variety of other kitchen appliances, including an ice cream maker! In this video, we will make a Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, but there are endless possibilities when it comes to flavors. For an ice cream with a thicker consistency, pour it into a pan and leave it in the freezer for a couple of hours. For a soft-serve ice cream, enjoy right away!
