There’s nothing quite like indulging in a rich and creamy bowl of homemade ice cream, especially when it’s packed with the delicious flavors of Butterfinger candy bars. This indulgent homemade Butterfinger ice cream recipe is the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth and beat the heat all at once.

To start, you’ll need to gather the following ingredients:
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 4 egg yolks
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup chopped Butterfinger candy bars

To begin, heat the heavy cream, milk, and half of the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches a simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the remaining sugar until smooth. Slowly pour a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Once the egg yolk mixture has been tempered, slowly pour it back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Be careful not to let the mixture boil, as this can cause the eggs to curdle.

Once the custard has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover it and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

Once the custard has chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When the ice cream is almost finished churning, add in the chopped Butterfinger candy bars, allowing them to mix evenly throughout the ice cream.

Transfer the churned ice cream to a container, cover it with a lid, and place it in the freezer to firm up for at least 4 hours before serving.

When you’re ready to indulge, scoop out a generous portion of the Butterfinger ice cream into a bowl or cone and enjoy the rich and creamy sweetness with the satisfying crunch of Butterfinger candy. It’s a homemade treat that will have you savoring every spoonful.

This indulgent homemade Butterfinger ice cream recipe is the perfect way to treat yourself and your loved ones to a delicious and refreshing dessert. So why not give it a try and whip up a batch of this decadent ice cream to enjoy on a hot summer day or any time you’re in need of a sweet and satisfying treat.
