Mint candy cane chip ice cream

Here’s a recipe that’s not too terribly complicated. It uses all ingredients you can get at the grocery store. I find most often lately in order to satisfy my creativity I have to make my own ingredients. Sometimes I can spend the good part of a day coming up with something that I thought the world was missing. It makes some of the recipes on my blog really involved to create. Anyways this is pretty straightforward. On to the recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 2/3 cup skim milk
  • 1/4 cup dried milk
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract
  • 10 small candy canes

Instructions:

  1. Mix milk, cream, dry milk, sugar, and extract in medium saucepan over low heat.
  2. Pasteurize ingredients by bringing them to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Allow to cool on stove.
  4. Further cool in Refrigerator for at least two hours.
  5. Smash candy cane and pre-chill in freezer. I used a rolling pin.
  6. Prepare ice cream in ice cream machine according to manufacturer’s directions.
  7. Either serve immediately as soft serve or place in freezer and serve later as hard serve.
