Crush 8 ounces of candy canes into a fine powder, leaving some chunks if necessary.

In a pot, mix milk, flour, and salt, whisking together.

Cook the mixture over heat until it starts to thicken, whisking constantly for about 10 minutes to prevent burning.

Once thickened, beat the eggs in a separate bowl until well mixed.

Temper the eggs by adding a small amount of the hot milk mixture while whisking continuously.

Add the tempered eggs back into the milk mixture and cook for about 5 minutes longer, until it coats the back of a spoon.

Remove the mixture from heat and chill it.

Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and add heavy cream and crushed peppermint candy.

Churn according to the machine's instructions for about 25 to 30 minutes until done.
