Homemade Peppermint Ice Cream

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

granulated sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey is a natural sweetener, while brown sugar adds a deeper flavor.

Prepare your KitchenAid ice cream maker by placing it in the freezer for at least 24 hours before use.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 2 cups of heavy cream and stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Add 2 cups of half and half to the mixture and stir to combine.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well.

Pour the mixture into the KitchenAid ice cream maker and set it to slow speed.

Let the ice cream mixture churn for about 20 to 30 minutes until it thickens.

While the ice cream is churning, crush 7 peppermint candies and add them to the mixture for flavor.

Once the ice cream is ready, transfer it to a container and freeze until firm.
