No Churn Peppermint Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream Food

PEPPERMINT NO-CHURN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Put a 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan in the freezer to chill. Put the chocolate-peppermint candies and 3/4 cup of the heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the candies are melted, about 5 minutes. Cool completely.
• Meanwhile, whip the remaining 2 cups heavy cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium high until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes. Pour the condensed milk into a medium bowl and fold in 1 cup of the whipped cream with a rubber spatula until combined, then fold the lightened mixture back into the whipped cream until well blended. Gently fold in the marshmallows.
• Remove 2 tablespoons of the chocolate-peppermint candy sauce and set aside. Pour a third of the ice cream mixture into the chilled pan, then top with half of the remaining chocolate-peppermint candy sauce, add a third more of the ice cream mixture, then the remaining chocolate-peppermint candy sauce. Cover with the remaining ice cream mixture and sprinkle the crushed peppermint puffs on top. Drizzle the top with the reserved chocolate-peppermint candy sauce. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and freeze until solid and scoopable, about 3 hours and up to overnight. Serve in a cup with a candy cane if using.

NO-CHURN CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• For the ice cream: Whisk together the condensed milk, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. The mixture will become very thick; set aside.
• Whip the cream with a mixer on medium-high speed until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold about 1 cup of the whipped cream into the cocoa mixture with a rubber spatula until combined, then fold the lightened mixture into the whipped cream until well blended. Pour into a chilled 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan, and freeze, covered, until thick and creamy, like soft-serve, about 2 hours. Swirl in any desired mix-ins with a spoon. Continue to freeze, covered, until solid and scoopable, about 3 hours more.

NO-CHURN PEPPERMINT BARK ICE CREAM

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.
