Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- 1 cup Reese's cups, chopped
- 1/2 cup fudge sauce
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, which should take about 3 minutes. This creates the fluffy base for your ice cream.
- Fold in Sweetened Condensed Milk and Vanilla: Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the whipped cream, combining without deflating the mixture to keep it light and airy.
- Add Reese's Cups: Fold in the chopped Reese's peanut butter cups carefully to distribute the chocolate and peanut butter pieces evenly throughout the ice cream base.
- Transfer and Swirl in Fudge Sauce: Spoon the mixture into a plastic ice cream tub or loaf pan. Gently swirl the 1/2 cup of fudge sauce into the ice cream mixture to create delicious ribbons of fudge.
- Freeze: Place the container in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. This allows the ice cream to set fully without the use of an ice cream maker.
- Store Properly: Once frozen, store the ice cream covered in the freezer for up to 1 month to maintain freshness and flavor.
Notes
- For best texture, use cold heavy whipping cream before whipping.
- Gently fold ingredients to maintain airiness for a creamy texture.
- You can substitute Reese’s cups with any peanut butter candy or chocolate chips.
- Make sure to swirl fudge sauce rather than mixing it completely for distinct chocolate ribbons.
- Allow ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping for easier serving.
