Pour red hot candies mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

Whisk 1 cup cream and egg yolks together in a large bowl until well combined.

Step 3

Combine half-and-half, remaining 1 cup cream, and red hot candies in a large saucepan over medium-low heat; cook, stirring until candies dissolve, 5 to 10 minutes.

Pour 1 cup red hot candies mixture into cream-egg mixture in the bowl; whisk until well combined.
