How to Make Homemade Moose Tracks Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped
- 1/2 cup chocolate fudge sauce

Directions
Prepare the Ice Cream Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes.
