Our Editors Researched the Best Mint Chip Ice Cream Brands, and Here's What They Had to Say

"So Delicious makes some of the best dairy-free ice creams out there. I love the mint chip flavor, which is made with coconut milk — but it is pretty coconutty so you have to be on board with that taste. It's light and refreshing, and the texture of the thin chocolate flakes is great." — Erin Cullum, editor, Trending and Viral Features

"Breyer's has the best, because right off the bat, the color isn't that fake dyed green color you usually see with mint ice cream. I also love that the chocolate is chunks instead of chips or flakes, which, along with the white (over a sick green), makes it feel more natural. The flavoring is the best too because it's more of a cool mint flavor instead of a toothpaste or mouthwash-esque mint." — Amanda McKelvey, social media strategist

"Breyer's Mint Chocolate Chip IS THE ONLY WAY. JK, mint chocolate chip is the bomb pretty much no matter which brand makes it (special shout out to Halo Top's version!), but if I had them all in front of me, I'd go Breyer's every time. It has the most appropriate chocolate to mint ratio and the ice cream isn't an awful artificial green color — too much of that is a turn off." — Alessia Santoro, editor, Family

"I did a lot of ice cream research during my pregnancy and this is hands down the best mint chocolate chip out there. The chocolate flakes melt in your mouth and the mint flavor is so refreshing." — Stacy Hersher, director, Social and Partnerships

"Sadly, Ben & Jerry's Mint Chocolate Chunk ice cream is only available at scoop shops and not in pints, but it still remains one of the best. The thin chunks of chocolate vary in size, so you could get a hint of crunch in one bite and then a huge dose of chocolate in another. The only reason I'm OK with this flavor being a scoop-shop exclusive is that Mint Chocolate Cookie is available in pints, and it's . . . unreal good. It's peppermint ice cream with Oreo-like sandwich cookies packed throughout. Heaven!" — EC

"Pretty much every scoop of gelato I've ever tasted has been better than regular ice cream because it's creamier, denser, and it feels just a little more rich. Talenti's Mediterranean Mint gelato, specifically, just hits the spot every time. The refreshing mint flavor and the rich chocolate flakes make for such a satisfying treat when I'm binge-watching TV on the couch." — Chanel Vargas, editorial assistant, Trending and Viral Features

"The mint actually tastes like real, fresh mint and the chunks of flat chocolate give it the best crunchy texture against the creaminess of the gelato. I'm obsessed with it." — Sarah Siegel, assistant editor, Beauty and Shopping

"My one true love in life is Talenti's Mint Cookie Crunch Gelato. (Seriously, it's on my weekly shopping list.) It's made with less sugar than other flavors, so I feel like that gives me permission to eat the entire pint in one sitting. The cookie pieces remind me of Oreos and they're satisfyingly mushy and not too crunchy or big." — Victoria Messina, assistant editor, Trending and Viral Features

"Oatly makes ice cream, and the mint chip flavor is DELICIOUS! While I love me some dairy, I've become a major fan of Oatly oat milk — it's extra creamy, and I really enjoy the oat flavor. Their mint chip ice cream tastes rich yet refreshing, the chocolate chunks are just right (not too big, not too small), and you can eat an entire pint without any digestive repercussions." — Dawn Davis, senior editorial director, Beauty

"I have eaten a whole lot of mint chocolate chip ice creams, but Baskin Robbins's is queen. The formula's chips are packed with taste but light and flaky, so you don't have to waste your time chomping down on big chunks of chocolate." — Macy Cate Williams, editor, Shop and Must Have
