I just got a new kitchenaid stand mixer with the ice cream maker attachment. I want to know the easiest way to make peppermint ice cream. I have a bottle of peppermint extract, milk, 2 pints of heavy whipping cream, eggs, sugar, etc. All answers are appreciated! Thanks!


Answer
I use peppermint candy to make peppermint ice cream. Here is my recipe

Ingredients
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
6 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
1 pint heavy cream
1 1/2 cups finely crushed peppermint candy

Method
Beat milk, sugar and egg yolks in the top of a double boiler until frothy. Set over simmering water and heat 15 minutes, stirring now and then at first, constantly toward the end. Cool, add peppermint extract and cream. Fold in the candy. Freeze in a crank – type freezer [hand or electric] or automatic ice cream machine, following the manufacturer’s directions.
