Well, you guys, we made it. The 2016 Holiday season is officially upon us in all of its food-and-family-filled glory.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 cup milk, whole
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon McCormick Vanilla Extract
1/2 teaspoon McCormick Peppermint Extract
1/4 cups peppermint candy, crushed to mostly powder, plus more for topping
1 pinch salt

Preparation

  1. Peppermint Crunch Ice Cream

    Step 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, heavy whipping cream, granulated sugar, salt, and McCormick Vanilla and Peppermint Extracts until sugar has dissolved.

    Step 2

    Pour in crushed candy cane, mixing until mostly dissolved. It's okay if the candy clumps – the ice cream maker will slowly separate them.

    Step 3

    Remove ice cream bowl/attachment from freezer and attach/place it per your ice cream maker's instructions. Pour prepared ice cream mixture into the chilled bowl/attachment.

    Step 4

    Churn ice cream for 30-35 minutes or until desired consistency is reached.

    Step 5

    If you'd like soft ice cream, serve peppermint crunch ice cream immediately with additional crushed peppermint candy on top. If you'd like firmer ice cream, transfer the ice cream to a storage container, sprinkle the top with additional crushed peppermint candy, and let it freeze for 2-4 hours.
