Begin by filling the gallon sized zip top bag about half way with ice. Next, add 6 Tbsp of salt to this bag and set it aside.
In a separate quart sized zip top bag, add 1 tsp sugar, 1/4 cup half & half, 1/4 cup milk, and 1/4 tsp peppermint extract. Seal the bag completely.
Place the completely sealed ice cream ingredients bag into the ice/salt bag. Seal up the ice/salt bag. Wear gloves, and shake vigorously for 5 minutes.
Tip – it is more fun to make ice cream in a bag with friends. Take turns passing the bag around to shake!
Use a rolling pin to crush 2-3 candy canes. Set aside.
Open the ice/salt bag and remove the separate ice cream bag. Spoon the ice cream into a small bowl and top with a mini candy cane and the peppermint sprinkles. Serve immediately. Yum!!
