Ingredients

  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/4 cup crushed peppermint (additional for topping if desired)

Instructions

  1. Combine heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk and extracts in a standing mixer. Using the whisk attachment combine all ingredients until mixture becomes fluffy. Do not allow it to make peaks.

  2. OPTIONAL: Perform a taste test to make sure it has the pepper-minty flavor you are looking for. If desired add another 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract.

  3. Gently fold in candy cane pieces with a spatula until combined.

  4. Place mixture in an insulated container. Sprinkle additional crushed candy on top and place container in freezer for 6 – 8 hours or until frozen solid.

  5. Oh, before I go I forgot to tell you. I absolutely love this ice cream insulated container. It is compact, perfectly holds 1.5 quarts (there is also a 2.5 quart size if needed) it has a non-skid base and there are like four colors to choose from! Love it! Check it out. And don’t forget the ice cream scooper.
