Homemade Peppermint Pattie Ice Cream Pie

I made this homemade ice cream using my Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker

1 cup half and half

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup egg beaters

2 tablespoons sugar

pinch of salt

3 small chocolate covered peppermint patties

1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

6 hard peppermint candies, crushed

Combine half and half, cream, egg beaters, sugar and salt in a food processor or blender. Blend to combine all of the ingredients well.

Cut peppermint patties into very small chunks, add to blender or food processor, also add the Vanilla and process until very smooth.

Before unwrapping the peppermint candies smash with a rolling pin or something to crush them up really well. Add to blender or food processor and mix again together.

Cover and refrigerate until ready to freeze.

Once ready to use blend one or two more times to blend the flavors together again!

Then follow the manufacturers instructions on making the ice cream in your maker!

*now I made this ice cream into a ice cream pie - so you just need to buy a graham cracker crusts at the store and let the ice cream sit out for about 5 minutes then add to the pie shell and return to the freezer until ready to eat!

Enjoy!!!!!!
