Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup chopped Snickers bars
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of heavy cream and 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk. Use a whisk or an electric mixer to blend the ingredients together until they are well combined and slightly thickened.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated. This will enhance the flavor of your ice cream.
- Chop the Snickers bars into small pieces. You should have about 1 cup of chopped Snickers. Gently fold the chopped Snickers into the cream mixture, ensuring that they are evenly distributed.
- Next, fold in 1/4 cup of chopped peanuts for an added crunch and nutty flavor. Make sure not to overmix, as you want to keep the airiness of the cream.
- Once all the ingredients are combined, transfer the mixture into a Pacojet container. Ensure that the container is filled to the appropriate level, leaving some space for expansion as the mixture freezes.
- Seal the Pacojet container tightly and place it in the freezer. Allow the mixture to freeze for at least 4 hours or until it is completely solid.
- Once frozen, remove the container from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Using the Pacojet, process the frozen mixture according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Serve the Snickers ice cream immediately in bowls or cones, garnished with additional chopped peanuts or chocolate syrup if desired. Enjoy your delicious homemade Snickers Ice Cream!
Tips
- Chill Factor: Make sure all your ingredients are cold before mixing to ensure the smoothest possible texture.
- Snickers Chopping Hack: Freeze the Snickers bars for about 10 minutes before chopping to make them easier to cut into neat pieces.
- Pacojet Pro Tip: If you don't have a Pacojet, you can still make this recipe using a standard ice cream maker or the no-churn method by freezing and stirring every hour.
- Flavor Boost: For an extra flavor punch, try using salted peanuts to enhance the sweet and salty contrast.
- Storage Advice: If you have leftovers (unlikely!), store the ice cream in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent ice crystals.
- Serving Suggestion: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before serving to achieve the perfect scoopable consistency.
