How to Make Homemade Moose Tracks Ice Cream

Ingredients

  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp light corn syrup (or honey)
  • 1 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped into pieces

Directions

  1. Prepare the Ice Cream Base: In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat this mixture until it’s hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the sweetened condensed milk. Let it cool, then chill it in the refrigerator.

  2. Make the Fudge Swirl: In a separate saucepan, melt the chocolate chips, unsalted butter, heavy cream, and corn syrup over low heat until it is smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.

  3. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled ice cream base into an ice cream maker. Churn it until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  4. Assemble: In a container, layer the ice cream, drizzle fudge, and scatter the chopped peanut butter cups. Gently swirl everything together.

  5. Freeze: Cover the container and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours to firm up.

  6. Serve: Scoop out the ice cream and enjoy your delicious homemade treat!

Tips to Make Homemade Moose Tracks Ice Cream
