Growing up, my mom and I would always count down the days until peppermint ice cream was back for the holidays! My favorite thing to do was watch holiday hallmark movies with my family with a big bowl of peppermint ice cream and hot fudge by the glow of the Christmas tree lights. Making homemade ice cream is not only easy, it is incredibly delicious and tastes better than store bought! I have lots of delicious recipes for my ice cream flavors like salted oreo, nutella, and salted pumpkin oreo. (Trust me: If you have not tried salted ice cream YOU NEED TO). This holiday peppermint cookies and cream ice cream is so festive for the holiday season and pair perfectly with a Christmas movie marathon.
Not only is this peppermint chocolate cookie ice cream delicious, itโs also easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this refreshing treat anytime. So why not try making it today? Youโll be glad you did!
To serve, scoop the peppermint chocolate cookie ice cream into bowls or cones and garnish with additional crushed chocolate cookies, if desired. This ice cream is sure to be a hit with family and friends during the holiday season.
Peppermint Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
Ingredientsย ย
Methodย
- In a large bowl, crush your chocolate peppermint cookies (save some for topping), and in the same bowl whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and peppermint until combined.
- Mix the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks are formed. I use a stand mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes. Slowly fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture.
- If desired, divide the ice cream mixture in half and add the red food coloring to half the mixture to turn it a wintery peppermint color. Leave the other half white.
- Pour the mixture into the loaf pan, top with the extra cookie crumbles, and let this freeze overnight.
