There are so many delightful holiday flavors and I love almost all of them.One of my favorites right now is Peppermint.
I made a Cooking Light version of Peppermint Ice Cream last year, and while it was pretty good for a lighter choice, with ice cream, I think that the real, full fat version produces better results. My family definitely agreed with me on that when I made this ice cream.
This recipe came from Simply Recipes, which happens to be the place where I found one of our favorite ice cream recipes earlier this year-Mint Chocolate Chip.
I happened to have 8 egg yolks in my fridge, leftover from my daughters birthday cake, so this recipe was the perfect way to use them.
This ice cream was silky, smooth and perfectly peppermint-y.
My husband loved it. He ate most of it. And whenever he loves the ice cream I make, I consider it a huge success.
This ice cream was so creamy and delicious. The perfect peppermint treat!
Recipe for Peppermint Ice Cream

Oh how I wished Ice Cream loved me as much as I love it! This would be one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteOh.. so pretty. It looks perfect for this Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteThere's not much better than homemade ice cream. It was actually a summer treat when I was growing up. The holidays was always about pies and hot spiked cider.
ReplyDeleteBut with Peppermint Ice Cream like this I think I might be convinced to blow the dust bunnies off the ice cream maker and make a batch. Yum!
Even though it has been crazy cold in NYC I would welcome a few scoops of this ice cream anytime.
