Ingredients:
For the Ice Cream Base:
• 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream
• 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
• ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• 4 large egg yolks
For the Moose Tracks Mix-ins:
• ½ cup (120g) peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
• ½ cup (120ml) chocolate fudge sauce
• ½ cup (60g) mini peanut butter cups, chopped
Instructions:
Make the Ice Cream Base:• In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm (not boiling).
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Gradually temper the yolks by slowly pouring the warm cream mixture into them while whisking constantly.
• Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
• Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any curdled bits, stir in the vanilla extract, and let it cool. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Churn the Ice Cream:• Pour the chilled base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20-25 minutes).
• In the last few minutes of churning, add the chopped mini peanut butter cups.
Swirl in the Moose Tracks:• Transfer the churned ice cream to a container. Gently swirl in the peanut butter and chocolate fudge sauce to create ribbons, being careful not to overmix. Add more peanut butter cups for extra crunch if desired.
Freeze:• Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for a firmer texture.
Serve:• Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy the creamy, fudgy, crunchy goodness!
Tips:
• No Ice Cream Maker? Freeze the base in a shallow dish, stirring every 30 minutes until smooth and creamy.
• Customize Your Moose Tracks: Add caramel swirls, crushed cookies, or chopped nuts for a personal touch.
• Topping Ideas: Drizzle with extra chocolate or peanut butter sauce for even more indulgence.
