peppermint ice cream or vanilla
no eggs in this ice cream recipe therefore it is more like an Italian gelato
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
2 cups heavy cream
or half and half
pinch of salt
2 tsp vanilla (for vanilla gelato)
or
2 tsp peppermint flavoring
handful of crushed peppermint sticks or candies
i try to buy enought of these candies at Christmas time
bc i like peppermint ice cream in the summer
peppermint candies are hard to find in Moab unless it is
Christmas
Moab is not a shoppers' paradize
oh / here is how to make it :
put the sugar in the milk and warm it up so the sugar dissolves
add the cream and the flavorings
cool it down and put in the freezer / when it has thickened up some
stir in the crushed candies
or chill it and pour into an ice cream maker / add the candies after
the ice cream has begun to freeze
otherwise the candies will sink to the bottom of the bowl
wdnt want that !
my favorite ice cream when i was growing up was Gifford's Peppermint
it was PINK and i loved it in a sundae with HOT FUDGE SAUCE and whipped cream
my boyfriends parents took us to Gifford's after our 9th grade "prom" (this was in the '40's) and after that i threw up all over their new car / it was a Kaiser
