Candy Cane Ice Cream
Sure you can buy peppermint ice cream at the store, but it will never be as rice as this ice cream recipe. Serve a scoop of this with a slice of your favorite chocolate cake or drizzle it with hot fudge.
Yield: 6 servings
Preparation Instructions:
Heat milk, cream, sugar, and extracts together in a stove pot. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Don’t let it boil as this can curdle the milk.
Once the liquid is warm, use a mixing bowl to slowly whisk the warm cream into the egg yolks. Tempering the yolks so as not to curdle them. Don't add it all at once, or else you might end up with scrambled eggs.
Remove from heat and chill it in the refrigerator.
Once chilled, follow instructions on your ice cream maker.
When the ice cream has begun to take on the desired consistency, add the crushed candy canes and mix them in just so they create a swirl.
