pretty pink peppermint marshmallow ice cream
One of my friends that I graduated with from High School has a birthday; but this year she isn't able to go out to eat to celebrate her special day, because she has a husband who is not doing well health-wise. I decided to make her a sweet treat & take to her. I love, love, love developing ice creams -as you may know if you have read my previous posts. I thought I would develop a Peppermint Marshmallow Ice Cream for her and her husband -and make Brownies for them to enjoy with the ice cream. Peppermint Marshmallow Ice Cream & Brownies -YUM! YUM! I hope you make & enjoy it too!

How To Make pretty pink peppermint marshmallow ice cream
-
Step 1Gather and measure out the ingredients for the ice cream recipe.
-
Step 2Crush the peppermint candies.
-
Step 3Place the marshmallows and 3 Tablespoons of the Half and Half in the top of a double boiler (OR a large glass bowl set over a pan of simmering water.). Melt the marshmallows with the milk; stirring often.
-
Step 4Remove from the heat and add the remaining Half and Half, sugar, salt and peppermint extract.
-
Step 5Stir in the crushed candies. Set aside to cool.
-
Step 6With an electric mixer, whip the Whipping Cream until soft peaks form (about 2 minutes). NOTE: I put the beaters and bowl in the freezer as I get the rest of the ingredients together. The whipped cream whips better and quicker when the beaters and bowl are cold.
-
Step 7Gently, fold the whipped Whipping Cream into the rest of the ingredients.
-
Step 8Pour mixture into a 2 quart freezer-safe container or a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
-
Step 9Cover and freeze until firm. Or you can leave in the freezer overnight. NOTE: The longer you leave it in the freezer, the firmer it gets.
-
Step 10Have a bowl of this yummy treat! NOTE: This ice cream is also delicious as an Ice Cream Sandwich by putting the ice cream between two "Crispy and Crunch Chocolate Cookies". See recipe I preciously posted (I got from JoyofBakingcom.) ENJOY!!!!!
