No-Churn Peppermint Bark Ice Cream image

I was a no-churn ice cream skeptic, but this recipe made me a believer. It's incredibly creamy from the 2 1/2 cups of heavy cream (a little more than you'll find in other no-churn recipes). The bits of peppermint bark will linger on your tongue after the cold and creamy goodness of the rest of the ice cream melts. Pour some espresso over a scoop to make this affogato-style (and totally suitable for breakfast!).

Time 6h15m

Yield about 7 cups (fourteen 1/2-cup servings)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups (20 ounces) heavy cream
One 14.5-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 cup chopped peppermint bark (see Cook's Note)
Hot coffee or espresso, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer (though you can whip by hand if you'd like). Set aside.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk to another large bowl. Stir in the vanilla and peppermint extracts.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk just until no streaks remain. Gently fold in the chopped peppermint bark (reserve a few pieces to sprinkle on top). Pour into a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle the reserved pieces of peppermint bark on top. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight, or at least 6 hours.
  • Scoop the ice cream into a cup and try to not eat all of the remaining ice cream. Bonus points if you pour coffee on top.
