Peppermint ice cream makes this beverage taste—and look—more like a dessert than a punch! "I've mixed the sipper many times for ladies' lunches and buffets," shares Neva Schnauber of T. Collins, Colorado. "It's a great way to start a gathering." For a fun garnish, Neva adds, you can hang mini candy canes around the punch bowl and cups.

Tip

Homemade Peppermint Ice Cream

When peppermint stick ice cream isn't available, I crush 15-20 hard peppermint candies or small candy canes and fold into a half gallon of softened vanilla ice cream. —Barb Gribble, Arena, Wisconsin

I made this for our family Christmas get together. So glad I got enough to make for another party as the first batch was gone before everyone got to our house. They all said this was their favorite punch now.

I made this last Sunday for fellowship hour after church service. It got rave reviews and several requests for the recipe. It looked exactly like the picture. I even heard a man say, "Isn't that PRETTY!" Great recipe for so few ingredients.

I have made this recipe for years for a group of college kids. They always request it and can never get enough!

Just made this for a Christmas Party and then again for my family's Christmas gathering. It was a great hit. Tastes yummy and is so pretty with the candy canes hanging around the bowl. The ice cream starts to look a little ugly on top when it sits for a bit, but some gentle stirring takes care of that.

This was really a unique recipe! Everyone could not get enough of this punch! It was gone within minutes and tasted really great. People loved the candy canes on the edge of the bowl as well.
