Equipment
- stand mixer optional

Ingredients
- 4 cups heavy cream very cold
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1¼ cups crushed peppermint candy reserve 2 tablespoons for garnish
- ¼ cup peppermint schnapps optional
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract or to taste
- 5 drops pink (or red) gel food color optional, or to color preference
Instructions
- Crush peppermint candy in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin. You'll need about 1-1¼ cups of crushed candy. Set aside.
- Add the very cold heavy whipping cream to a chilled bowl.
- Start the beaters on low and gradually increase the speed to high. Whip the cream until soft peaks form. This takes about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk to the whipped cream along with the peppermint and vanilla extract. Whip again until thoroughly combined, but don't overbeat.
- Add the peppermint schnapps and most of the crushed candy (reserving some for garnish) to the whipped cream mixture. Switch to a spatula and stir well.
- Add the pink (or red) gel food color until the desired shade of color is achieved. Stir well to achieve an even color.
- Taste, and If more peppermint flavor is required add a touch more peppermint extract. Spoon the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container.
- Smooth the top of the ice cream and sprinkle the remaining crushed candy on top. Place the ice cream into the freezer for at least 4 hours before scooping and serving.

Notes
Make sure to have all the ingredients chilled before starting.
A cold bowl and beaters will help whip the cream faster and with more air.
Freeze at least 4 hours before scooping and serving.
After freezing, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes for easier scooping and serving.
