Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.

Note
For best results, use plain, full-fat yogurt for a creamier texture. Low-fat yogurt may result in a icier consistency.
To crush peppermint sticks, place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin or meat mallet until finely broken.
This recipe contains raw eggs. If concerned about safety, use pasteurized eggs or cook the egg/gelatin mixture to 160ðF (71ðC) before adding yogurt.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let thaw slightly before scooping.
You can substitute peppermint sticks with candy canes or peppermint bark for a similar flavor profile.
