Ingredients
- 250 ml heavy whipping cream (at least 36% milkfat) cold
- 4 egg yolks
- 50 g granulated sugar
- pinch fine sea salt
- 125 ml whole milk
- ½ teaspoon pure peppermint extract
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- 2 tablespoon candy cane or peppermint candies crushed
Instructions
- Pour the cold heavy cream into a large bowl or jar. Set aside.
- Separate 4 egg yolks from the egg whites and place the egg yolks into a heat-safe bowl. (Refrigerate or freeze the egg whites for later use).
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks with sugar, sea salt and set aside.
- Add the milk to a medium saucepan or pot and simmer over low heat until scalding hot.
- While whisking the egg mixture, gradually pour in the warmed milk (known as tempering the eggs).
- Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low-medium heat, until the custard thickens. When you can draw a line on the back of a spatula or wooden spoon, the ice cream mixture is ready.
- Remove pan from the heat and stir in peppermint extract (and vanilla extract, if using).
- Pour the ice cream mixture through a sieve into the cold heavy cream.
- Give the mixture a stir and cover with a lid/plastic wrap.
- Place into the refrigerator to chill for at least 6-8 hours, or overnight.
- The next day, churn the ice cream according to your ice cream manufacturer's instructions.
- In the last 5 minutes of churning, add in the crushed candy cane pieces.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and place into the freezer.
- Freeze the ice cream for at least 6-8 hours, or until firm.
- Sprinkle additional crushed peppermint candy cane pieces before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Yield: a little over 1 pint.
