If you’re a fan of the classic Butterfinger candy bar, then this deliciously creamy Butterfinger ice cream recipe is sure to become one of your new favorite desserts. Packed with chunks of Butterfinger candy and a rich, creamy base, this homemade ice cream is a true treat for any occasion.
To make this delectable ice cream, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup chopped Butterfinger candy bars (about 4-6 bars)
To begin, start by whisking together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until the sugar is fully dissolved. Once the base is smooth and well combined, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes until the ice cream reaches the desired consistency.
About 5 minutes before the ice cream is done churning, add the chopped Butterfinger candy bars to the ice cream maker and continue to churn until the candy is evenly distributed throughout the ice cream.
Once the ice cream is ready, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm and scoopable.
When it’s time to serve, scoop generous portions of the Butterfinger ice cream into bowls or cones and top with additional chopped Butterfinger candy for an extra indulgent touch. You can also drizzle it with chocolate syrup or caramel sauce for an even more decadent treat.
What’s great about this recipe is that you can easily customize it to your preference. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the ice cream base in a blender before churning. Additionally, you can mix in other mix-ins like chocolate chips, peanut butter cups, or even more crushed Butterfinger candy bars.
Whether you’re serving up a scoop for a special occasion or simply treating yourself to a sweet indulgence, this Butterfinger ice cream is sure to be a hit. Creamy, rich, and packed with the irresistible flavor of Butterfinger candy, this homemade ice cream is a truly delightful dessert that everyone will love.
