Whoops! Sorry about that. Subbing in the ice cream would be no problem. You won't get the pretty light green color the creme de menth lends, but that's okay. You can definitely use peppermint extract for the flavor. I'd start with 1/2 teaspoon of the extract blended in, and then taste it. Add another 1/2 t to make it mintier. And remember that when things are frozen, they taste less intense and less sweet, so when you're tasting the unfrozen liquid it should be a bit too strong.
Also, I think there's an omission in that recipe about when to add the mint and the chocolate chips. Just blend them in to the custard mix right before you transfer it to the ice cream maker.
