This is a doctored ice cream
recipes. Take vanilla ice cream and add a few simple ingredients, refreeze,
and tell everyone it’s homemade. It looks like ordinary peppermint ice cream,
but it’s not. Peppermint is a strong flavor, so it usually kind of takes
over whatever it’s in, but not so with this ice cream gourmet
recipes. It’s big on vanilla, light on the peppermint. And the white
chocolate adds the perfect touch without being overwhelming. There is probably
nothing better than ice cream and brownies easy
dessert recipes.
Ingredients
1 3/4 quarts (7 cups) good quality vanilla ice cream
4 ounces white chocolate
1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
1/2 cup round peppermint candies or candy canes, crushed (about 15
candies)
Instructions
Place the ice cream in a large bowl and leave it out for about a half
an hour until it is soft and workable.
In a small bowl, melt the white chocolate in the microwave. Melt for 20
seconds, stir, then stir every 10 seconds after that until it is mostly smooth.
Some little lumps are okay.
Immediately add in the vanilla bean paste to the chocolate. Stir
quickly and then mix all of it into the vanilla ice cream, stirring with a
large spoon. There will be some steaks of white chocolate, but that's a good
thing.
Gently stir in most of the peppermint, reserving some to sprinkle on
top of each serving. Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart baking dish or large
tupperware. Freeze until firm, about 3-4 hours. Sprinkle with remaining
peppermint and serve.
Notes
If you don't have any vanilla bean paste, sub vanilla extract. But you
really should invest in some paste, it is liquid gold!
You can crush the peppermint candy as little or as much as you want, it
just depends on how chunky you want your ice cream.
