It may be winter, but some of us still have to enjoy our daily bite of ice cream— and there is no better fix than this no-churn peppermint ice cream, featuring fresh peppermint flavor with little bits of crushed candy canes in every bite. It’s also super easy to make!
Serves: 6
Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
Pink food coloring, optional
3/4 teaspoon mint extract
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy canes
Directions:
Add heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk to a large bowl. Whisk on a medium-low speed until the ingredients are smooth and even.
Turn the whisk up a bit higher and whisk until the mixture is starting to thicken and is smooth (it doesn’t need to be extremely thick), about 3 minutes on medium speed.
Add pink food coloring, if using, and mix until desired color is achieved. Add crushed candy canes and mix until distributed throughout.
Pour into a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan and place in the freezer until frozen and firm.
Chef’s Notes:
To crush candy canes, place into a Ziploc bag and pound with a rolling pin.
You may need to let the ice cream sit for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
Ice cream will last for 30 days in the freezer.
