Equipment

  • Electric Mixer

Ingredients
 

  • 14 oz (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup unsweetened, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1 tbsp vodka (optional)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp peppermint extract
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • ½ cup roughly chopped peppermints or candy canes
  • ½ cup roughly chopped semi-sweet or dark chocolate

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, vodka, vanilla and peppermint extract. The mixture will be thick.
  • In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer (stand or hand-held) to whip the cream until soft peaks form.
  • Whisk 1/3 of the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture to loosen it up.
    Fold another 1/3 of the whipped cream in until mostly combined.
    Add the last 1/3 of the whipped cream, as well as the chopped candy canes and chocolate. Fold everything together, leaving a few streaks of white.
  • Transfer the ice cream to lidded ice cream containers, and freeze until firm, about 6 hours.
