Thanks for posting this recipe! I’m now in search of a gingerbread ice cream recipe….While I admit that I spend the end of summer wishing it was pumpkin spice season, by the time Halloween rolls around, I’m already over it and ready for all things peppermint - especially peppermint bark. (It scooped very nicely, but it melted a little quickly.)īottom line, in light of my experience, next time, I’d probably use 4 candy canes in the mixture, and *maybe* add another candy cane or two as a “mix in” after the ice cream is hardened or complete. In turn, the ice cream was a smidge too sweet for me (although my daughters were crazy about it), and the sugar kept the ice cream from hardening as much as it normally would. Because I’d used 6 candy canes in addition to the sugar that the recipe calls for, the mix was saturated with sugar. ![]() But, as Charlene said, the mix dissolves the candy canes. The ice cream was delicious, creamy, and very candy-caney. I pulverized six 8″-9″ (?) candy canes, which yielded a little less than a cup of pulverized candy canes.ģ. It doesn’t specify what size of candy canes, and candy canes come in a bunch of different sizes. So, we tend to err on the high side of the recommended flavorings (in this case, the candy canes).Ģ.

I made these quick little labels using Avery labels. The loaf pan is perfect to serve to your own family but if you want to give this as a gift, transfer the ice cream from your machine directly into the ice cream pints. The candy canes will dissolve in the cream mixture so you can reserve some of the candy cane to sprinkle on top if you like. You can also pop them in a sandwich bag and bang the heck of it with a rolling pin. As for those candy canes- I popped them into the food processor for about 2 minutes and they were chopped right up for me. I have used chunks of chocolate or even chocolate chips in the past and it is not super pleasant to bite into a frozen chunk of chocolate. They can scramble on you and that is not delicious ice cream.Īs for the chocolate- I try to chop into small pieces. Now for a few quick notes– be very careful and slow adding the eggs.
