If you’re a fan of the classic Butterfinger candy bar, then you’re going to love this irresistible DIY Butterfinger ice cream delight. This homemade dessert combines the creamy goodness of homemade ice cream with the delicious crunch of Butterfinger pieces, creating a dessert that is sure to please any sweet tooth.
To start off, you’ll need to gather the following ingredients:
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1 cup whole milk
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 5 egg yolks
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup chopped Butterfinger candy bars
To begin, combine the heavy cream and milk in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until it reaches a simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg yolks until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.
Once the cream and milk mixture has reached a simmer, slowly pour it into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from curdling. Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once the custard has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container and placing it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
After the custard has chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In the last few minutes of churning, add in the chopped Butterfinger candy bars and continue to churn until they are evenly distributed throughout the ice cream.
Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for at least 4 hours, or until it reaches your desired consistency.
Once the ice cream has frozen, scoop it into bowls and top it with additional chopped Butterfinger pieces for an extra crunch. This DIY Butterfinger ice cream delight is the perfect treat to enjoy on a hot summer day, or any time you’re craving a sweet and creamy dessert.
The combination of the smooth, creamy ice cream and the crunchy Butterfinger pieces makes this homemade dessert simply irresistible. Whether you’re planning a family gathering or simply want to indulge in a delicious treat, this DIY Butterfinger ice cream delight is sure to be a hit with everyone.
