Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped
- ½ cup fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 ½ cups vanilla ice cream base (if using store-bought vanilla ice cream, skip this step)
For the homemade ice cream base (if needed):
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make the homemade ice cream base (if needed): In a medium saucepan, heat the milk, cream, and sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warm. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Prepare the ice cream mixture: If using store-bought vanilla ice cream, soften the ice cream and mix it until creamy and smooth. If using the homemade base, use an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions to churn the mixture until thick and creamy.
- Fold in the peanut butter cups: Once the ice cream is ready, fold in the chopped mini peanut butter cups, making sure they are evenly distributed.
- Layer the fudge sauce: In a container, layer the ice cream with fudge sauce, drizzling it between layers. You can use a spoon or knife to gently swirl the fudge into the ice cream, creating ribbons of fudge.
- Freeze: Place the container in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is fully frozen and firm.
- Serve: Scoop and serve your homemade Moose Tracks Ice Cream with Peanut Butter Cups & Fudge! Enjoy the sweet, creamy, and rich treat!
Notes
- If you prefer a thicker fudge swirl, add more fudge sauce or slightly warm it to make it easier to drizzle.
- Feel free to use any variety of peanut butter cups, like mini or regular-sized, and chop them according to your preference.
- You can also add crushed peanuts or chocolate chips for extra texture.
- For a more intense peanut butter flavor, swirl in some peanut butter along with the fudge sauce.
- No ice cream maker? Simply mix the ingredients and freeze in a shallow pan, stirring every 30 minutes for the first few hours until frozen.
