Enjoy Peppermint Ice Cream year-round with this easy, no-churn recipe.
In my world, ice cream is an essential dessert for every time of the year, not just summer.

Peppermint Ice Cream
I’m not sure what happens in the marketing people’s heads that they think shoppers only want peppermint ice cream around Christmas, but I’m always sad when I can’t find peppermint ice cream in the stores after the holidays.
Peppermint isn’t just for Christmas, friends! You can make this ice cream with crushed candy canes or a bag of peppermint candies.
However you choose to make it, it’s pretty much guaranteed to become a favorite.

Mint ice cream has always been a favorite. We made homemade vanilla over the weekend. I always forget how good homemade ice cream is until I try it again. 🙂
Have a great week!
