Candy Cane Ice Cream

Who says that you can't eat ice cream in the winter?!? For our Christmas dinner I made this homemade candy cane ice cream that was to die for!

Ingredients
6 egg yolks
1-1/4 cup canned coconut milk (unsweetened)
1-1/4 cup almond or soy milk
3/4 cup white sugar
1-1/2 tsp peppermint extract
4-5 candy canes, plastic removed and crushed

Directions
Beat the eggs, milks and sugar together. Then heat on medium heat, stirring frequently until nearly boiling. Remove from heat and let cool. Mix in peppermint extract and then strain into an ice cream maker. (Or you can freeze it in a shallow pan, mixing it at least once during the freezing process.)

Once the ice cream begins to thicken, add the crushed candy canes. Let the ice cream solidify in the freezer for a couple of hours before serving.
