### Mint Chocolate Chip

#### Mix-Ins

* 2 tsp. peppermint extract
* 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips<sup>*</sup>

<sup>*</sup>added gradually in the last minutes of churning.

#### Notes

* The chocolate chips can be substituted
    with a finely chopped chocolate bar,
    providing a more interesting texture
    and a more "homemade" feeling result.
    Note that chopping the chocolate bar
    will be laborious and quite messy.

### Cookies and Cream

* 1 tsp. vanilla extract
* 15 chocolate sandwich cookies, broken into chunks

### Strawberry

#### Mix-ins

* 1-1/2 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
* 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced and mashed

#### Chef's Notes

Added to the three cups dairy,
this is the perfect ratio of fruit,
but it is too much volume for the churn.

May need to split this recipe
to "fruit-ice-cream" or similar
and rework the quantities.
