Peppermint Ice Cream is a decadent mixture of creamy ice cream and crushed peppermint candy. This no churn recipe makes it easy to enjoy homemade ice cream.
Whip the heavy cream in a medium sized bowl with a hand held or stand up mixer until stiff peaks are formed.
In a separate bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk with the mint extract. Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture and add in the food coloring.
Stir until combined and the mixture is the color that you prefer. Add in the crushed peppermint candy (reserve some for topping) and gently fold again until the candy is evenly distributed throughout the ice cream mixture.
Pour the ice cream mix into a 9×11 loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining crushed candy on top of the ice cream mixture in the loaf pan.
Allow the ice cream to set in the freezer for 4-6 hours before serving. Then the ice cream is ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
This ice cream will last as long as other ice creams as long as it is stored sealed or covered with plastic wrap.
