Continuing my seasons eatings recipes this week I’m sharing a fun way to use candy canes!
What You Need
2 Pints vanilla ice cream (softened)
1/2 Cup candy canes (crushed)
1 Cup heavy cream
1/4 Cup light corn syrup*
12 oz. Semisweet chocolate ( finely chopped)
Large Bowl
Cling wrap or lid for bowl
Saucepan
Lets Make It! Put the ice cream in a large bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons of candy cane and then sprinkle the rest all over the ice cream. Blend ice cream and candy together using a large spoon, mix ice cream and candy until candy is well incorporated. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
In a saucepan over medium high heat combine cream and corn syrup and bring to a boil , stir often to blend evenly. Remove from heat and whisk in the chocolate. Stir until chocolate has melted and sauce is smooth.
3. Divide ice cream among 6 dessert dishes. Top with hot fudge sauce. Sprinkle each portion with reserved crushed candy and serve immediately.

Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cover for 3-5 minutes ( to get sugar crystals off the sides of the pan) Uncover and cook until it reaches soft ball stage. Stir often.

Pam@over50feeling40 says
Yum….I have actually taken a version of this and put it into a cookie pie crust (chocolate wafers!) and made an ice cream pie for Christmas dessert. Texas may be one of the only places where we love ice cream desserts for the holidays!! I also, roll peppermint ice cream in coconut to make SNOWBALLS and then cover them with a homemade chocolate syrup….YUM!!!
