This delicious dessert combines the crunchy, peanut buttery goodness of Butterfinger with the creamy sweetness of homemade ice cream.

To make this delectable dessert, 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
– 6 full-size Butterfinger candy bars, coarsely chopped

To start, you’ll need to make the base for the ice cream. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat just until it starts to simmer, stirring occasionally. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.

Once the cream mixture has been fully incorporated into the egg yolks, transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. 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. Let the custard cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely chilled.

Once the custard is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In the last few minutes of churning, add the chopped Butterfinger candy bars and continue to churn until they are fully incorporated into the ice cream. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

When you’re ready to serve the ice cream, scoop generous portions into bowls or cones and enjoy the irresistible combination of creamy, homemade ice cream and crunchy Butterfinger candy pieces. The creamy texture of the ice cream pairs perfectly with the crunchy, peanut buttery goodness of the Butterfinger, creating a dessert that’s sure to impress.
