Instructions
Put the milk and salt in a saucepan and let it come to the boil, while you stir.
1 cup milk
Meanwhile, whisk the yolks with the sugar and salt until they are pale yellow in color.
5 egg yolks, ¾ cup sugar, ⅛ teaspoon salt
Add the hot milk in a thin stream, while continuing to beat.
Put the custard back into the pan on low heat and stir with a wooden spatula until the custard begins to thicken. It's thick enough as you draw a line on the spoon and the line doesn't fill immediately. Remove from heat.
Put a sieve on top of a bowl.
Pour the custard through the strainer and mix the cream with the custard.
2¼ cups heavy cream
Put a plastic foil on top of the custard and allow to cool for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Beat with a mixer 1-2 minutes until the mixture is airy.
Mix the peppermint extract and crumbled candy canes into the cream and pour into a freezer box.
1 teaspoon peppermint extract, 3 oz. candy canes
Place the box in the freezer and freeze the ice for at least four hours until it's frozen.
