In this task, you have to identify the named entities (NER) which are the ingredients required given its directions. Named entities are the names of the items without their quantity.
One example: Preheat oven to 375 degrees., Boil syrup, sugar and shortening over medium heat, stirring constantly., Remove from heat., Gradually stir in flour and nuts., Drop by teaspoonfuls about 3 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheet., Bake 5 to 6 min., Remove from oven and let stand 5 min, before removing from sheet., May be rolled into cylindrical shape while still hot., If cooled too much, return to oven for a minute., Yield: 4 dozen cookies.
Solution is here: flour, nuts, corn syrup, shortening, brown sugar
Explanation: This is a good example, as we see the NER is generated correctly from the directions.

Now, solve this: Soften the ice cream at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Scoop it into the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat the ice cream on low speed for about 30 seconds, until it starts to become smooth. (If you don't have a standing mixer, you can use a bowl and a wooden spoon -- just be ready for a bit of a workout!), Add the crushed candy canes and 1 teaspoon peppermint extract to the bowl and continue to beat on low speed just until these are combined with the ice cream. Taste and beat in more peppermint extract if the peppermint flavor is too faint. Quickly transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and return to the freezer for a couple of hours before serving so it can re-harden.
Solution:
vanilla ice cream, canes, peppermint
