Peppermint Ice Cream
Winter has finally arrived. It's the perfect time to snuggle up with a warm blanket and watch your favorite holiday movie with your favorite peppermint treats!
It isn't Christmas without a few cartons of this candy cane ice cream in your freezer. Grocery stores typically carry this seasonal flavor for only a few months each year.
Since it's difficult to find this frozen treat after the holiday season, I made a homemade peppermint ice cream to enjoy year-round. The hardest part is waiting for it to churn and freeze.
Why You Will Love This Peppermint Stick Ice Cream
This homemade peppermint ice cream is made with peppermint extract and crushed candy, making it a fun Christmas dessert.
However, you don't have to wait for the holidays to enjoy this special treat. It's easy to make, so you can indulge all year round.
- Smooth and creamy texture. Combining heavy cream, whole milk, and melted white chocolate creates the perfect creaminess. The fat content is crucial, so it's important not to skimp on the ingredients.
- Loaded with candy canes. Using crushed candy bits gives the ice cream a more intense flavor and satisfying crunch.
- Pretty pink color. More or less food coloring can be added to get your desired shade of pink. However, you can skip that step and enjoy white ice cream with candy canes. Either way, it's sure to become a holiday favorite!
