A deliciously pink Candy Cane Ice cream, perfect for Christmas time...or after Christmas when you need to ditch the leftover candy canes.
Well a New Year is upon us, so are a few extra kilos and the remains of Christmas folly...dozens of candy canes hanging on the tree. So in a fit of candy thrift (something that doesn't happen to me very often, nothing lasts that long!) and with the temperature hovering around 35°C (Yes dear Northern Readers, we are talking 95°F) ice cream seemed a great option. With little time remaining in my morning, this is what we got...and not bad if I say so myself, in fact, 'mint' actually!
