One of my favorite recipes of the season is Candy Cane Ice Cream… It is probably the easiest thing you will make this season… I will post a picture later today, but in the meantime…
Here is the SCOOP…
1. Buy or make a half gallon of your favorite vanilla ice cream. I usually make a “cream base” using my ice cream maker, but you can just as easily buy a half gallon of vanilla from the grocery store… If you use store bought ice cream, let it sit out for a couple of minutes so it’s soft, but not melted…
2. Buy a package of TRADITIONAL Peppermint Candy Canes… Unwrap each of the candy canes and put them in a large ziplock bag. Using the back of a spoon, hammer, etc… SMOOSH up all of the candy canes (you probably want about a cup of candy canes, but if you like it more peppermint-y then add as much as you like! This is a great way to release some holiday stress too…
3. Scoop the ice cream into a large bowl. Add the smashed candy canes to the ice cream in the bowl. Using a large spoon, mix the ice cream and the candy canes together…
4. Re-freeze the ice cream until ready to serve…
5. I love to serve this with mini chocolate bundt cakes, chocolate waffer cookies, or even just all by itself! YUMMY…
