Instructions

Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into a large bowl.
Use a hand (or stand) mixer to whip the cream slowly at first, then increase the speed until soft peaks form. This will take 3-6 minutes, depending on your mixer and its speed, as well as your comfort level.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a separate bowl. Add the peppermint extract and candy cane pieces, and stir until smooth.
Fold the sweetened condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream with a rubber spatula until just combined.
Pour the ice cream base into a loaf pan. Sprinkle with additional candy cane pieces. Freeze overnight.
Scoop and serve once frozen solid!

Notes

If you don't love larger chunks of peppermint, as shown in these photos, break yours up more or grind them to more of a dust consistency for that color and flavor without the crunch.
