Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl blend together the cream and milk. Add the eggs and sugar, whisking until the mixture begins to thicken.
- Add the vanilla pudding mix or pastry cream filling mix and whisk until dissolved.
- Stir in the peppermint oil and crushed candy canes, and continue to stir for about 1 minute. This will allow the smallest pieces of candy to dissolve and begin to turn the mixture pink.
- If you want the ice cream to be brighter pink, add a few drops of food coloring.
- Chill the ice cream base for 2 hours minimum, or up to overnight. A cold base will freeze faster, resulting in a smoother ice cream.
- Freeze the base in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions. If desired, add extra crushed peppermints or more candy cane bits to the mix during the last 5 minutes of freezing.
- Yield: 1 quart.
