Candy Cane Ice Cream


OMG make this ice cream!

Go to your local fancy Martha wannabe store and buy an ice cream maker and then MAKE THIS ICE CREAM.

-2 large eggs
-3/4 c sugar
-2 c heavy cream
-1 c milk
-2 tsp vanilla extract
-3 tsp peppermint extract
-1 c well-crushed candy canes (about 1 box)


Using your stand mixer with the whisk attachement, beat the eggs until they are fluffy.
Add the sugar, a little at a time, and mix for 5 minutes. Set your mixer to low and slowly pour in the dairy. (Note: you sub the dairy for 3 cups of non-fat half and half. You will lose some of the creaminess, but then your ice cream is practically fat-free). Mix well, then add the extracts and mix again.

Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker, mix according to the manufacturer's instructions. When the ice cream is done, stir in the candy canes. Freeze for at least 2 hours. Should make about 2 pints.

Then, enjoy the candy cane goodness!
