How to chop the peppermint patties

I used mini York Peppermint Patties and chopped each one into 9 pieces. Thirds one direction, and then thirds in the other direction.

I found that this size chunk was very nice, any bigger, and it was too much York to the bite.

I also like the ½ cup amount to the batch of ice cream. If you’d like more Yorks per bite, by all means, feel free to add more. I’d probably recommend staying with ½ to 1 cup to one batch of ice cream.

How to add your candy mix-ins

I like to add my mix-ins to the ice cream as I layer the ice cream into the container to put in the freezer.

So, place a small amount of ice cream in the bottom of your freezer container or metal loaf pan.

Next, sprinkle on some candy pieces. Top with a bit more ice cream, some more candy pieces, and finally with some ice cream.

As you scoop, you’ll get a nice mixed ice cream.

And, don’t forget you can garnish the servings with additional chopped York pieces.

Equipment

• Ice Cream Machine

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 cups half-and-half
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
• ½ cup chopped York Peppermint Patties about 4 mini patties cut into 9 pieces each

Instructions

 

• In a medium mixing bowl, beat the sugar into the eggs until thickened and pale yellow. Beat in the cornstarch and set aside.
• Bring the half-and-half just to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
• Slowly add half of the hot half-and-half mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly as you pour the hot half-and-half mixture in; then pour this mixture back into the saucepan.
• Place the saucepan back over medium-low heat, and cook the custard, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon; keep a close eye on it, as it should never come to a boil. When thick enough, the custard should register 170°F on a candy thermometer. Pour the custard through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl.
• Allow the custard to cool slightly, then stir in the cream and peppermint extract. Cover and refrigerate until cold or overnight.
• Stir the chilled custard. Freeze the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Transfer the finished ice cream to an airtight container, layering and mixing in the chopped York Peppermint Patty candies, and place it in the freezer until ready to serve.
• When finished, the ice cream will be soft but ready to eat. For firmer ice cream, wait at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Notes

This recipe makes about 1 quart of ice cream. Serving size of ½ cup means about 8 servings.
