No Churn Candy Cane Ice Cream brings the most popular flavor of Christmas right into your kitchen without the ice cream maker!

I love eating ice cream all the year round. And at Christmastime, what could be more perfect than a candy cane ice cream? Especially one that doesn’t require an ice cream maker!

I’ve been wanting to make a candy cane ice cream for the last two Christmases and I just barely did it. It’s a Christmas miracle! I love this ice cream because it’s so smooth and creamy with great peppermint flavor, yet full of chunks of candy cane. It’s pretty much a holiday dream.

This is a great treat to serve at a holiday party, for Sunday dessert, or even a game night. Make a batch of my favorite brownie recipe and plop a nice big scoop of this ice cream right on top. And it’s so good smothered in chocolate syrup!

Prep Time 5 minutes

Additional Time 5 minutes

Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

1 pint heavy whipping cream
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. peppermint extract
3 drops red food coloring
1 cup smashed candy canes

Instructions

Place whipping cream into the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on high for two minutes, or until stiff peak forms.
In a separate bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, and food coloring. Stir in candy cane pieces.
Gently fold this mixture in with the whipping cream till combined.
Pour combined mixture into a large bread pan (at least 1.5 qt). Sprinkle with more candy cane pieces, if desired. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze 8 hours or overnight. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

The easiest way to crush up candy canes is by placing then in a plastic bag, setting the bag on a wood cutting board, and carefully smashing them with a heavier object. I like to use the back of a small saute pan!
