Who doesn’t love a good homemade ice cream recipe? If you’re a fan of the classic combination of peanut butter and chocolate, then you’re going to love this delicious Butterfinger ice cream recipe. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a creamy, sweet, and crunchy dessert that is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
To start off, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1 cup whole milk
– 3/4 cup sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
– 6 Butterfinger candy bars, crushed
To begin, pour the heavy cream and whole milk into a large saucepan and heat over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Once it reaches a simmer, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sugar until it is fully dissolved. Next, stir in the vanilla extract and the creamy peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Once the ice cream base is ready, let it cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours. After the mixture has chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once the ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, stir in the crushed Butterfinger candy bars, then transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it is firm.
The result is a luscious, creamy peanut butter ice cream studded with crunchy Butterfinger pieces that will leave you wanting more after every bite. This homemade Butterfinger ice cream is a perfect treat for a hot summer day or a special dessert to impress your family and friends.
