How to Make Peppermint Cream Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, and salt.
  2. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon over medium heat.
  3. Cook, stirring continuously, until the sauce begins to thicken slightly and is smooth. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the crushed peppermint candies.
  5. Pour the sauce into an airtight container and let it cool completely before placing it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve chilled over your favorite chocolate ice cream, cakes, or cookies. Enjoy!
