There’s nothing like a cold smooth ice cream with the burst of peppermint in every bite. This easy peppermint patty ice cream is the best I’ve ever had. It’s creamy, minty, and chocolatey, and chewy from the candy. It’s perfect for the summer on a hot day, or even in the winter when you’re craving something pepperminty.
Also not to mention, it’s super easy! Takes maybe five minutes at the most to prep, but it’s mostly waiting to dig into the deliciously creamy delight.
You will need an ice cream maker, I use Krups La Glaciere ice cream maker. I’m not sure if this would work on any machine, but I can’t imagine why not. If you have a different brand and it works, let me know!
Now, onto the recipe!
Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 10-15 york peppermint patties
- ½ tsp peppermint extract
Instructions:
With an electric mixer, beat the egg and sugar until fluffy and a pale yellow color. This is a very important part to get the air in the ice cream. Add the milk and cream then whisk till combined.
Get your ice cream maker bowl and set it all up. Pour the milk mixture and let the maker do its magic
Once it starts to thicken, add the peppermint extract and start putting the patties in. You can cut them up, or just break little pieces off and drop them in. Whichever way you do, make sure they are small!
Slowly add one or two patties at a time. You may need to get a spatula to help it move at some point, the patties will harden a little.
Let the machine churn the ice cream for 20-30 minutes or until nice and thick.
Store in the freezer with an air-tight container.
Notes:
- If you don’t have your ice cream maker bowl in the freezer, put it in a day or two before making the ice cream.
- Since it is homemade ice cream, it will melt pretty fast
- For milk, I’ve used goat and cow milk, they both turned out great! But, the goat milk version seemed to be a bit watery when melted.
- After I finish a batch of ice cream, I wash the bowl, let it dry completely, and put it right back in the freezer. So when I decide to make some ice cream last minute, I’ll be ready.
