Ingredients
4 Candy Canes
2 Tbsps Hot Water
1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
1/4 Cup Sugar
1 Drop Mint Extract
Directions
- In a mason jar, combine the heavy whipping cream, and sugar.
- Remove the wrappers from the candy canes. Break two of them up into chunks and add them to a microwave safe bowl. Add in the hot water. Use the spoon to help stir the candy canes in the water.
- Microwave the candy canes and water in 30 second increments, stirring between each round, to help the candy canes dissolve into the water.
- Once the candy canes are mostly dissolved, add the candy cane liquid into the cream mixture.
- Add the remaining two candy canes to a ziplock bag. Seal it shut, and crush up the candy canes until they’re very fine.
- Add the crushed candy canes to the ice cream mixture.
- Add in the one drop of mint extract.
- Put the lid on the jar and shake it for about 30 seconds to combine the ingredients.
- Remove the lid from the jar, and freeze the ice cream mixture for at least 4 hours until completely frozen. Making sure to stir the ice cream every two hours or so, to keep the candy canes from settling to the bottom.
- Once frozen, enjoy!
