Peppermint Ice Cream Recipe

 

For a little extra flavor and pizazz, you can mix chocolate sticks into the ice cream as well…Who ever said that ice cream wasn’t for the winter?

Adding the Peppermint

For this recipe, you’re going to need to crush peppermint candies.

You can use round peppermint candies or candy canes. Either will work just fine.

How To Crush Peppermint

You can crush the peppermint candies in one of two ways.

With a Food Processor

Simply put your candies in the food processor and pulse on and off until candies get to the desired size.

Manually

If you don’t have a food processor, you can crush the candies manually.

Place candies in a seal-able plastic bag. Remove the air and seal.

To crush the candy, you can use a rolling pin or mallet. If you don’t have that, an iron skillet or a hammer would work as well.

Pound the candies with your chosen “crushing tool,” until candies are crushed to your desired size.

Size of Crushed Pieces

Depending on what texture you like, you can grind the peppermint candies up almost to powder or you can coarsely crush them for peppermint chunks in your ice cream.

If you choose to leave the peppermint more coarse, just be sure that the chunks aren’t too big or they may hurt your ice cream maker.

 

Serving Tip

Scoop out ice cream into festive bowls and place either a long chocolate stick or a candy cane into the ice cream in each bowl.Pepper mint Ice Cream
