I am a HUGE fan of peppermint ice cream. In fact, I bought 15 containers of it last year, and stocked up my freezer!!

Here's an easy recipe on how to make your own - using peppermint extract:
Everyday Cook Recipes - Peppermint Ice Cream Recipe using bought ice cream.

Here's a more "homemade" version using NO peppermint extract: (Comes out light pink!)

There are tons of recipes out there for peppermint ice cream - some that require the use of an ice cream maker/machine, some that don't. Some that call for eggs in the recipe, some that just use store-bought ice cream as the base ingrediant. I don't have an ice cream maker/machine, so neither of the above recipes requires one.

I plan to try each of the recipes above to see which I like better!!

Enjoy!!

Just wanted to add a tip I learned...

After crushing up the candy canes, or peppermint candies, soak them in a bit of milk, covered, in the fridge overnight. The candy pieces will "melt" a bit, turning the milk pink-ish, and there won't be any razor sharp bits!! I didn't do this, and some of the candy pieces came out like shards of glass!! OUCH!!
