Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
First, place the bowl of your ice cream maker and loaf pan in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 2
In a medium pot, add the milk, cane sugar, and white chocolate. Put over high heat, and stir until it reaches 140°F on a thermometer. The sugar and white chocolate will be completely dissolved. Place the pot in the fridge and let it sit overnight.Remove the pot from the fridge, add in the yogurt and peppermint flavor and whisk until combined.
Step 3
Remove the ice cream maker from the freezer, and turn it on low (yes, with nothing in it). Slowly pour the yogurt mixture into the ice cream maker. Churn for about 20 minutes (or follow the instructions on your ice cream maker). I have the KitchenAid attachment for my mixer, and I did about 20 minutes. If you over churn ice cream or fro yo, then it can make it really icy.
Step 4
Remove the loaf pan from the freezer. Once the fro yo is done churning, add the mini chocolate chips and mix with a spatula to combine. Pour into the loaf pan and spread evenly. Place back in the freezer overnight.
