Making your own Butterfinger ice cream allows you to control the quality of the ingredients and tailor the flavor to your own preferences. Plus, the process is surprisingly simple and requires only a few basic kitchen tools.

To get started, you’ll need the following ingredients:

– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1 cup whole milk
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 4 large egg yolks
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 4 regular-sized Butterfinger bars, coarsely chopped

To begin, heat the heavy cream and milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. While the cream and milk are heating, whisk the sugar and egg yolks in a separate bowl until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened.

Once the cream and milk are heated, slowly pour a little bit of the hot mixture into the egg mixture while continuously whisking to temper the eggs. Once tempered, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream and milk, and continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

Once the mixture is thoroughly chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. During the last few minutes of churning, add in the chopped Butterfinger bars, allowing them to mix evenly throughout the ice cream.

Once the ice cream is fully churned, transfer it to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it’s firm and ready to serve.

When it’s time to indulge, scoop yourself a generous serving of this sinfully delicious homemade Butterfinger ice cream and enjoy the perfect combination of creamy, sweet, and crunchy flavors.
