2. Add Cream and Salt: Once the candies are fully dissolved, pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle in the salt. Stir the mixture gently until everything is well combined. Allow the mixture to heat through, but do not let it boil.

3. Chill and Freeze: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool down to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the saucepan and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours. After chilling, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a thick, creamy consistency.

4. Beat Until Creamy: Once the ice cream is churned, transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the ice cream for a few minutes until it becomes light and airy. This step helps incorporate air into the ice cream, giving it a smoother texture.

5. Continue Freezing: Cover the container tightly with a lid and place it in the freezer. Allow the ice cream to freeze until it’s quite firm, typically around 4-6 hours or overnight.

6. Serve and Enjoy: When ready to serve, scoop the peppermint candy ice cream into bowls or cones. For an extra decadent touch, drizzle some hot fudge sauce over the top. Enjoy the refreshing taste of homemade peppermint candy ice cream on a hot summer day!

Notes:

• Be sure to use quality peppermint candies for the best flavor. You can adjust the amount of candies according to your preference for a stronger or milder peppermint taste.
• For added indulgence, consider topping your peppermint candy ice cream with crushed candy cane pieces or chocolate shavings before serving.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Simply let the ice cream soften for a few minutes at room temperature before scooping and serving.
