Ben & Jerry’s Heath Bar Crunch Ice Cream Recipe

Now I know it’s kind of cheating, but it’s still a heck of a lot cheaper.  Now that we know Ben & Jerry’s free range plan for the future, let’s sink our gums into this Ben & Jerry’s Heath Bar Crunch Ice Cream recipe.  Enjoy, it’s never too cold for ice cream.

Ingredients: 

• 4 Heath Bars
• 2 large Eggs
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 cups heavy or whipping cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla

What’s Next:
 
Using a sharp knife, cut the candy bars into 1/2 to 1 inch chunks. You should have about 1 cup. Place the chucks in a bowl, cover and freeze.

Whisk the egg in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.

Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue to whisk until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream, milk, vanilla, and whisk to blend. Transfer the mixture to ice cream maker and freeze following manufacturer’s instructions.

After the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done) add the candy, then continue freezing until the ice cream is ready. Makes generous 1 quart.

For my favorite COFFEE HEATH BAR CRUNCH: Omit vanilla and substitute 3 tablespoons good quality freeze-dried coffee. Add 2 tb coffee with the cream and milk, and add the remaining 1 tbls coffee with the candy (after the ice cream stiffens).

Now that wasn’t so hard, was it?

Eat well & Laugh often!
