How to make it dairy free.

The first time I made this recipe, I made it with dairy free milk. That recipe turned out to be more of a sorbet than an ice cream. Second time I used all dairy free cream, which changed the taste a little bit.

I suggest using dairy free milk and dairy free cream together, this would give the best result. You can even use dairy free coffee creamers.

Making the ice cream

• If you have an icecream maker than just use it according to manufacturing's instructions.
• Don't have an ice cream maker? read below.

Making it soft serve

After the ice cream has been frozen overnight, you will take it out of the freezer chop it into big chunks and process in the food chopper until smooth, then refreeze again. You have to repeat this process 3/4 times to get the desired soft serve consistency.

Flavoring

• Candy Cane: Blend a candy cane with other ingredients, like I did. The flavor from the candy cane was enough to flavour the ice cream.
• Peppermint Essence: You can use the essence for a stronger flavour.
• Do not like Candy Cane? Use any other flavor essence/fruits. This can be a great base to many other flavors.

Serving Suggestions

To serve the ice cream chop a candy cane and sprinkle on top before serving. My daughter enjoyed it with the Dairy Free Homemade White Chocolate Peppermint Bark that I posted earlier.
