Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy cream cold
  • 1 cup whole milk cold
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 to 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2/3 cup finely crushed peppermint candy plus more for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is dissolved. Taste and adjust peppermint extract if needed.
  • Mix 1/3 cup crushed candies into the milk mixture. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-30 minutes.
