In my mind, there's something about ice cream and cold weather that goes hand in hand...or cone in hand, or something like that. I love ice cream year-round, but add hat, gloves, and mittens and it seems extra special.
This chocolate-ribboned peppermint ice cream practically screams HOLIDAY! The ice cream has a creamy, vanilla-peppermint base. Scattered throughout are bits of festive red and white peppermints. The swirl...the swirl is a thick, rich, peppermint fudge sauce that is, well, sublime. As in, hide all of the spoons in your house so some actually ends up IN the ice cream.
How CUTE are these simple white pint containers tied up with baker's twine? Pretty darn cute!
I'm sharing the recipe over at The Pioneer Woman Food & Friends today.
Maybe Santa wants ice cream with his cookies this year.
