Tips

  • Peppermint extracts vary in strength. Start with half, taste the base, then add more.
  • Crush the candy in a bag with a rolling pin, then shake off the fine dust so the ice cream stays white.
  • The candy turns sticky in the freezer, so serve within a day or two.

Why it works

Peppermint extract flavors the base without coloring it. The candy and white chocolate go in at the end so they stay crunchy instead of dissolving.
