Peppermint Ice Cream
Description
The Peppermint Ice Cream recipe blends sweetened condensed milk with heavy cream, whole milk, and peppermint extract to form a smooth custard base. The mixture is churned in an ice cream maker until soft set, then enhanced by folding in crushed peppermint candies, which provide bursts of minty sweetness and texture throughout.
The ice cream develops a creamy consistency with bright peppermint flavor balanced by the richness of the dairy and sweetness from the condensed milk. Chilling overnight firms the ice cream for easier scooping, while the peppermint pieces add a cool bite.
Without an ice cream maker, whipping the cream to soft peaks and folding in the milk-extract blend before freezing in a metal loaf pan is a suitable alternative process to achieve similar results. This method also allows incorporation of the peppermint candies just before the final freeze.
This peppermint-flavored ice cream works well as a holiday dessert or to accompany chocolate or fruit treats. The recipe yields a refreshing frozen treat with classic mint candy notes.
Ingredients
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups milk whole
- 35 peppermint candies crushed
- 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
Instructions
- Combine the sweetened condensed milk, cream, whole milk and peppermint extract in a bowl and mix until blended.
- Pour mixture into the freezer bowl of an ice cream maker.
- Follow instructions and churn until ice cream is soft set. Fold in crushed peppermint candies.
- Pour into a freezer safe container and freeze for several hours or overnight for firm ice cream.
Notes
- If an ice cream maker is not available, whip the cream to soft peaks, then fold in the milk and peppermint mixture before freezing in a metal loaf pan.
- Fold crushed peppermint candies into the ice cream after churning or just before the final freeze if making without a machine.
- Freeze the ice cream several hours or overnight to firm up before serving.
