Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

ingredients
14 candy canes
1 quart vanilla ice cream
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
directions
Place the candy canes inside a zipper-top bag and crush gently with a hammer or the flat side of a meat mallet. They should be about 1/4-inch or smaller in size.
Place the ice cream in the microwave and soften for 10 seconds. Remove to a large bowl.
Combine the ice cream with the peppermint extract and crushed candy canes until evenly blended. Transfer the mixture to a plastic container with a lid and place in the freezer until firm, about 1-2 hours.

This recipe is really easy to make and tastes great. Adding the candy canes to the ice cream before it hardens in the freezer makes for a nice texture. It's also really easy to adjust the amount of peppermint extract depending on your taste- you could go up to 1/2 teaspoon or more, but I found that it was already pretty flavorful with just 1/2 teaspoon.
