Ingredients

8 servings
  • ¾ cup very finely crushed candy canes (about 24 Starlight candies or miniature candy canes, alternatively 6 full size candy canes)
  • 1½ cups milk
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup additional crushed candy canes (about 8 mini candy canes)
  • 1 cup peppermint bark (roughly chopped)
  • ⅓ cup COLD chocolate sauce (homemade or store-bought)

Steps

  1. Place the candy and milk in a food processor or blender and pulse until the candy is broken down and mostly dissolved into the milk.

  2. Whisk together the cream, sugar, vanilla, peppermint extract, and salt. Add the milk and peppermint candy mixture. Pour into your ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  3. Transfer a third of the churned ice cream to an airtight freezer container. Sprinkle with candy cane pieces and drizzle with chocolate sauce, if desired. Sprinkle with chopped peppermint bark. Repeat the layers two more times.

  4. Serve immediately for soft serve ice cream or freeze until firm.
