List of Ingredients
1/2 cup finely crushed peppermint candy or
1/4 tsp peppermint oil
1/4 cup creme de menthe
1 large egg
1 cup half and half
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups heavy cream
4 drops red food coloring (optional) Recipe
Put the crushed peppermint candy and the creme de menthe in a blender and blend on high speed for about 30 seconds. Add the egg, half and half, sugar, and vanilla extract, and blend on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved. Slowly add the cream and blend on low speed for 30 seconds.Transfer the mixture to your ice-cream machine and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.Makes slightly more than 1 quart [Notes: We used peppermint candy, green creme de menthe, green food coloring, and about 2/3 cup of chocolate chips thrown into the ice cream can. Leave out the salt and let it run for 20 minutes or so; then correct the salt-ice mixture. The extra beating makes it light and creamy, and doesn't harden too hard.]
