Ingredients

  • 4 large frozen bananas
  • 2 tbsp almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 drops peppermint extract
  • 3 candy canes

Instructions

  1. Unwrap your candy canes and place between two paper towels. This reduces the messy clean up.
  2. Take a mallet or bottom of a glass and crush the candy canes up.
  3. Add the crushed candy canes to a bowl and set aside.
  4. In a blender, combine all of the ingredients except for the candy canes and blend until smooth. Start with 1 drop of peppermint and taste it before adding the second drop as a little bit of peppermint extract goes a long way. Tip: It's easier if you slice the bananas before you freeze them, but if you have them whole then it will just take a little bit longer to blend them up.
  5. Serve right away with the left over crushed candy canes sprinkled on top, OR transfer the blended nice cream to a freezer safe container.
  6. If freezing it, mix half of the crushed candy canes into the mixture, using a spatula to combine them.
  7. Freeze for 1 hour.
  8. Remove from freezer, scoop into serving bowls.
  9. Enjoy!
