Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fat free half & half
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 3/8 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 3 – 4 crushed peppermint candy canes
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the half & half, whipping cream, sugar and peppermint extract.
- Pour the mixture into the bowl of your ice cream maker and begin freezing according to the manufacturer’s directions.
- Partway through the freezing, add the crushed candy canes. If you want the candy canes chunkier, add them later in the freezing process. If you want them more dissolved into the ice cream (like this), add them about 10 minutes into the freezing process.
- Finish freezing the ice cream. Store in an airtight container in the freezer. Most ice cream makers will give you a “soft serve” texture when it comes out of the freezer. If you want the ice cream harder (like the photos), freeze in your freezer for at least 2 hours before eating.
