Merry ho ho ho to me! |
Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups cold milk
3 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup of sugar
2 teaspoons peppermint extract
6+ drops of neon pink food coloring (optional)
1 cup crushed peppermint candy
Put some peppermint candies into a zip top plastic bag and to be safe, but that bag in another bag, just to ensure the broken candy won't leak out. Make sure to squeeze out all the air or you will have a large minty explosion on your hands. Using a rolling pin or other large heavy object, crush enough candy to measure out to 1 full cup. Don't smash them into power all the way, try and keep small sized chunks here or there for added texture in your ice cream.
Put the whole milk and sugar into a bowl and mix with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour in the heavy cream and stir together. Add the 2 tsp of peppermint extract and the 6 drops of food coloring (optional) until every thing is just mixed together.
Pour your mixed ingredients into your 2-quart ice cream maker
Be sure to freeze your inner canister for a good 12-24 hours for the best results before adding ingredients |
It's pretty much at a soft serve stage right now, and you can eat it if you want (I won't deny the urge to stick a spoon in here and sample all the minty goodness is a hard one to suppress). But we like to freeze it for at least 6 hours and sometimes over night to get that really great scoopable ice cream feel.
We love serving them in the little mini cones (baby cones my girls call them) and they make the perfect little after dinner treat! I don't know what it is, but when the peppermint candy sits around in the cream for a while, it starts to get this gooey outer coating that is fun to suck on before crunching into the harder part of the candy. Love it. Printable recipe here. I hope you are enjoying our collection of ice cream recipes for the Cuisinart 2-quart ice cream machine. I had a hard time finding a big list of recipes out there, as most of them are for the 1 1/2 quart machine. This recipe we made up ourselves and there are more to come! We just did a banana caramel swirl chocolate chunk, and a double chocolate covered cherry chip as well, so stay tuned. More good recipes on the way! What's your all time favorite ice cream? Is there are recipe or flavor combination you think we should try? We are always up for experimenting! :)
