Peppermint anything is one of my favorite holiday flavors. Ice cream is one of my favorite treats. Put the two together, and you have a combination I have trouble staying away from, although with my kid’s help, this temptation didn’t last for long.

My Peppermint Candy Ice Cream contains just 4 ingredients:

(I know the picture shows vanilla, but I was making several recipes at once and messed up when I snapped the picture it should be a bottle of peppermint extract in the picture, not vanilla, sorry 🙂 )

The recipe is so simple to make my 10-year-old can make it all on her own. It also takes just a few minutes to prepare. It does, however, take an entire day to freeze, so you will have to wait a while to enjoy it.

I used to make my no-machine-needed ice-cream recipes in a huge glass measuring cup with a lid, but then I saw a picture in a magazine of a similar recipe, and they had used a rectangular Pyrex container with a lid. I tried it this time, and I love it! Much easier to scoop.
