I was at the grocery store the other day and when I went down one of the aisles, I was hit with an overwhelming peppermint scent. It suddenly gave me a craving for peppermint ice cream. It's been a long time since I've bought peppermint ice cream and I had to have some. . . but the store didn't have any. Soooooo, I made my own and it turned out SO DANG GOOD! It's probably even better than store-bought.
It's so easy to make. All you do is whip some heavy creamy with flavorings and then add in a can of sweetened condensed milk and crushed peppermint candy canes. Fold it all together and allow to freeze until firm. The easiest homemade ice cream.
No-Churn Peppermint Ice Cream
From: Jenn@eatcakefordinner
2 c. heavy whipping cream, cold
1/4 tsp. + 1/8 tsp. peppermint extract, or more to taste
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
2/3 c. crushed peppermint candy canes
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the cold cream, peppermint and vanilla extracts. Whip cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in the sweetened condensed milk and crushed candy canes (reserve just a little candy cane for topping). Pour into a 9x5-inch loaf pan and sprinkle with the reserved candy canes, cover with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for several hours or until firm. Makes around 6 servings.
You can also cut the knot with a pair of small scissors if you're having a hard time sliding the snake game knot off.
