Peppermint Bark No Churn Ice Cream! Cold, creamy ice cream with pieces of cool, chocolately peppermint bark swirled in.
Happy Friday! I feel like I need to say that because for me this week has moved about as fast as molasses, anyone else out there feel me?
But since its Friday, since I’m all about peppermint this week and since I needed a serious pick me up Peppermint Bark No Churn Ice Cream is in order!
I don’t think I will ever get over how easy no churn ice cream is! My poor ice cream maker is gathering dust up on the high shelf all alone but thats what happens when real life calls for simplicity. For this Peppermint Bark No Churn variety I whipped up the heavy cream, folded in the sweetened condensed milk, followed by a little vanilla, some mini chocolate chips. Finally, last but no least, the peppermint bark. I chose to layer this in the pan so each scoop promised bits of peppermint bark. So I pour in a little ice cream mix, layered broken bark on top, added another layer to ice cream, another layer of bark, one more layer of ice cream followed by the last layer of peppermint bark. Bam! Done!
One thing to note. As you can see I bought my peppermint bark. I used the Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark squares which I absolutely love (no, this is not a sponsored post, I just love these little squares). They helped save me some time but if you want to make homemade peppermint bark that would work just fine to and be just as good!
Nothing beats a cool frosty treat anytime of the year!
Enjoy!

I LOVE no churn ice cream too! Who needs an ice cream maker!? I am digging all those giant chunks of bark in that ice cream too. This might be the best holiday ice cream ever!
Thanks Katherine! I left the chunks big so they would make a statement and it worked 😉 . Take care!
Oh my goodness, I was going to make something similar this week. This looks so good!!
Thanks Cathleen! Similar is good, go for it! Everyday calls for peppermint bark! Take care.
Nothing does beat a cool frosty treat anytime of the year! Especially when it looks this good!!

It’s so chilly here, but this Ice-cream is making me drool!! What a fantastic idea to use those Ghirardelli Peppermint squares! YUM!
Hi Deepika. Thanks! It is here to but ice cream is a must all year round! Take care.
I’m always cold in the winter. In fact, I’m working on my laptop with a blanket draped over me right now. But I want to eat a big bowl of this delectable ice cream, even if it means I’ll have to drape a second blanket on me!
Hi Thao! Lol, exactly, the things we do for the love of ice cream! Thank you! Take care.
