Ingredients for Peppermint Punch recipe.

Made in 2 minutes

Tips + Storing Info

The ice cream should be softened, but not melted. Let it sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes until you can make a dent in the ice cream with your finger. Do not microwave as it is not reliable.

FOR MAKING AHEAD, if you are going to drink it within a few hours make it last later a little longer by putting it in the fridge. For longer storage go ahead and STORE it in the freezer. When you’re ready to drink it thaw it enough to be placed in the blender. 

Another thing you can do with leftovers of this Peppermint Punch is to pour it into a popsicle mold. FREEZE and you’ll have a frozen summer snack.

    We are hot chocolate fans, but love this punch just as much. It helps make the holidays a little more festive when the Arizona winter is just too warm for hot chocolate.

    What is ‘PEPPERMING’ ice cream?

  8. Sophia says:

    Hi! I was just wondering what would be a good substitute if you can’t seem to find peppermint ice cream and don’t have the time to make any? Thanks!

    1. Lil' Luna says:

      I would try vanilla ice cream with peppermint extract and candy cane pieces. Hopefully that works. ๐Ÿ˜‰
