- Transfer to container. Pour the ice cream mixture into an airtight container.
- Fold in the sugar free dark chocolate chips. Since this is a chocolate chip recipe, feel free to add a liberal amount of chocolate chips.
- Let freeze overnight. Cover the container with a lid and freeze the ice cream overnight or until solid.
- Serve. Remove from the freezer and allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
