Everyone loves ice cream in the summer because it’s refreshing. Peppermint ice cream? Twice as refreshing! For a crunchier version, process the candies into a coarser, rather than finer, crumb.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat liquid topping until stiff.
Add in sugar and beat until incorporated.
Add in eggs, one at a time, peppermint extract, and food coloring.
In a food processor fitted with the S blade, grind the candies until they are broken into very small pieces. (This is very noisy.) You can also place the candies in a plastic bag and bang them with a hammer to crush.
Gently fold candy into ice cream and freeze.
