What You Need:

• 1½ quart ice cream freezer container

• 1 tablespoon corn starch

3. Heat everything for an additional 2 minutes; stir constantly.
4. Pour the canna-cream mixture through a fine strainer and into a large bowl. Discard any solids.
5. Chill cream uncovered in refrigerator for 1 hour; stir occasionally. Place plastic wrap on top of cream mixture after 1 hour. Let chill for another 12 to 24 hours.
6. Pour cold cream mixture into 1½ quart ice cream freezer container. Stir in vanilla extract, peppermint extract and food coloring. Place container in freezer.
7. Remove container from freezer after 3 hours (before it freezes completely); stir in dark chocolate pieces. Return container to freezer for another 6 hours, or until ice cream is firm.
8. Let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping and serving.
