1. Gathering Quality Ingredients:

The secret to a vibrant peppermint flavour lies in using high-quality peppermint extract. Pair this with whole milk, heavy cream, and sugar to form the base of your ice cream.

2. Creating the Ice Cream Base:

Start by whisking the milk, cream, and sugar in a large bowl until the sugar is completely dissolved. This mixture should be smooth and well-combined, ensuring a creamy texture for your ice cream.

3. Infusing with Peppermint:

Stir in the peppermint extract once the mix is cool, adjusting the amount to taste. A few drops of natural green food coloring can be added to achieve that iconic minty color for a classic peppermint ice cream. However, this is optional and can be omitted for a more natural appearance.

4. Chilling and Churning:

Chill the ice cream base in the refrigerator until it’s completely cold. This step is crucial for achieving the best texture during the churning process. Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

5. Enhancing with Mix-Ins:

Consider folding in crushed peppermint candies or chocolate chips after churning for an added crunch and visual appeal. These add-ins complement the peppermint flavor and introduce an enjoyable texture to the ice cream.

6. Freezing to Perfection:

Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze until it reaches your desired consistency. This step solidifies the ice cream and allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
