Crushed peppermint candies turn this ice cream light pink. This is a great make-ahead recipe; if it's frozen solid, remove it from the freezer before serving so it can soften.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk, divided
2 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (14-ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup crushed peppermint candies (about 26 candies)
Directions:
1. Combine 1 1/4 cups reduced-fat milk and egg yolks in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring with a whisk. Cook over medium heat 9 minutes or until mixture is slightly thick and coats the back of a spoon, stirring constantly (do not boil). Cool egg mixture slightly.
2. Combine remaining 1 1/4 cups reduced-fat milk, vanilla, and condensed milk in a large bowl. Gradually add egg mixture, stirring with a whisk. Cover and chill thoroughly. Stir in crushed candies. Pour mixture into the freezer can of an ice-cream freezer; freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Spoon ice cream into a freezer-safe container; cover and freeze 1 hour or until firm.
