Instructions
Making Candy Cane Swirl is simple and fun. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
2. Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
3. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the melted white chocolate until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
5. Add Flavor: Stir in the peppermint extract and vanilla extract, mixing gently.
6. Separate the Mixture: Divide the mixture into two bowls. In one bowl, add red food coloring until you reach the desired shade of red.
7. Add Crushed Candy Canes: Fold the crushed candy canes into both bowls of mixture.
8. Layer the Mixtures: Spoon alternating dollops of the white and red mixtures into the prepared baking dish. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the two colors together gently, creating a marbled effect.
9. Chill: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or until set.
10. Cut and Serve: Once set, lift the Candy Cane Swirl out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and garnish with additional crushed candy canes if desired.
