my most controversial ice cream belief is that mint chocolate chip is one of the worst ice cream flavors. i will still eat it passionately, as i will nearly any flavor, but the gulf between an average mint chocolate chip and a good mint chocolate chip is impossibly large
Bad mint chocolate chip ice cream is the worst ice cream you'll ever have- chalky texture all throughout, uncomfortably cold-feeling, way too sweet and dehydrating to the point of immediate regret.
Good mint chocolate chip ice cream, on the other hand, is one of the better ice creams you can have. Smooth texture, just cool enough to be refreshing, quality chocolate without too much sugar in the ice cream itself, an actual joy on a hot day. Pairs great with coffee because it's smooth and soothing enough to complement the tannins.
