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 kids help this temptation didn’t last for long.
My Peppermint Candy Ice Cream contains just 4 ingredients:
- sweetened condensed milk
- Starlight peppermints
- heavy whipping cream
- peppermint extract
(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 use 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.

December 10, 2014 at 9:12 amWhat a simple and great holiday treat! Especially good with chocolate cookies:)
Victoria says
December 10, 2014 at 10:48 amYes it would be!
Emily says
December 18, 2014 at 6:50 pmWould this work with any flavor?
Victoria says
December 18, 2014 at 6:53 pmYes the base of whipping creme and sweeten condensed milk works well with almost any add ins I have tried. I have made chocolate by adding chocolate syrup, nerds by adding in nerds candies. I once made a strawberry one from strawberries I had whirled up in the blender first and it was amazing! I have those ideas listed in my recipe area https://snailpacetransformations.com/recipes/ scroll down until you see the ice cream section. Hope this helps.

December 18, 2014 at 9:15 pmThis sounds so yummy! I think I will add in some chunks of chocolate to make it similar to my favorite Christmas ice cream.
