If you love creamy desserts, you will enjoy this Homemade Moose Tracks Ice Cream Recipe. It is rich, smooth and full of chocolate flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate fudge sauce
- 1 cup mini peanut butter cups chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Prepare the Ice Cream Base
- In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, milk and sugar. Whisk until sugar dissolves completely. Add vanilla extract and salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Chill the Mixture
- Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge. Let it chill for at least one hour. This step helps improve texture and flavor of the ice cream.
Churn the Ice Cream
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn according to machine instructions. This usually takes about 20 minutes. The mixture should become thick and creamy.
Add Chocolate Fudge
- Once the ice cream is soft and thick, add chocolate fudge sauce. Gently swirl it through the mixture. Do not overmix so you keep visible chocolate ribbons.
Add Peanut Butter Cups
- Fold in chopped peanut butter cups. Mix lightly so they spread evenly. This adds crunch and rich flavor to the ice cream.
Freeze the Ice Cream
- Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover tightly and freeze for at least four hours until firm.
Serve and Enjoy
- Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones. Let it sit for a few minutes before serving. This makes it easier to scoop and improves texture.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream for best texture
- Chill mixture before churning for smooth results
- Do not overmix fudge to keep swirls visible
- Use good quality chocolate sauce
- Freeze in shallow container for faster setting
- Let ice cream soften slightly before serving
