Categories     Egg     Dessert

Yield 3 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups milk
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
6 egg yolks
2-3 Tbs vanilla
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups half-and-half
8 oz broken/crushed hard peppermint (sticks or rounds)
(optional) 4 oz crushed soft peppermint
for garnish, crush or reserve some medium size bits of hard peppermint

Steps:

  • 1. Pour milk into medium saucepan. Heat over low heat about 8-10 mins stirring frequently, until scalded (small bubbles around edge, but DO NOT BOIL or milk will curdle). 2. Remove from heat and stir in salt and sugar until dissolved. 3. Beat egg yolks in a medium bowl. 4. Slowly pour 1/2 cup hot milk mix over eggs while whisking constantly. Repeat 2 or 3 times. 5. Pour egg mixture back into the rest of the hot milk, whisking constantly until well mixed. 6. Cook over double boiler, stirring frequently, until custard coats the back of a spoon (about 5-10 mins). Remove from heat. (Optional - For extra peppermint taste, stir in 4 oz crushed soft peppermint to hot custard.) 7. Chill a couple hours or overnight for best volume. 8. Mix together chilled custard and vanilla, cream, half-and-half and 1/2 crushed peppermint in large pan. 9. Pour into ice cream churn and churn until partially thickened (about 10-15 mins depending on ice & salt mix). 10. Open churn and pour in remaining crushed peppermint. Close and continue churning until done. 11. Optional - when serving, garnish with reserved peppermint bits.

This ice cream is a great way to use up leftover peppermint extract. I always have some on hand during the holidays, and this is a great way to use it up before it goes bad.

I've tried many peppermint ice cream recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's so creamy and smooth, and the peppermint flavor is perfectly balanced. I love serving it with chocolate sauce or crushed candy canes.
