Ingredients

14 ounces sweetened condensed milk not evaporated milk
½ teaspoon peppermint extract
⅓ cup crushed candy canes
8 ounces whipped topping Cool Whip, thawed

Topping

2 tablespoons crushed candy canes

Instructions

Line a 8x4 or 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract and ⅓ cup crushed candy canes until combined.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes. This will allow the peppermint flavor from the candy canes to absorb into the other ingredients and soften the candy canes.
Fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and sprinkle the two tablespoons of crushed canes on top.
Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and then will foil and place in the freeze on a flat surface.
Freeze the ice cream overnight or for at least 6 hours.
Serve and enjoy!
