Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons peppermint extract
  • 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candy

Instruction

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the milk, sugar, and salt over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Pour the heavy cream into a metal bowl set in a larger bowl of ice and set a medium sieve on top.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together eggs. Pour a small amount of warm milk mixture into the eggs and whisk well. Continue slowly incorporating the warm milk into the yolks.
  • Pour the eggs and milk back into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes. The ice cream mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Pour the mixture through the strainer into the heavy cream. Whisk well and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
  • Freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Pour the peppermint candy in during the last 5 minutes of processing.
  • When ice cream comes out of maker it will be fairly soft. Put in an airtight plastic container and place in the freezer for at least an hour.
