Skor Bar Ice Cream – Ben & Jerry Style

🕒 Prep Time: 15 minutes
🕒 Total Time: 15 minutes
🥄 Yield: 1 quart

Description:

I adore Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, and I adore Skor bars. This marries two of my favorite foods into one uber-ice cream! It’s a delightful frozen treat that perfectly combines the creamy goodness of homemade ice cream with the irresistible crunch of Skor bars.

Ingredients:

  • 5 eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 Skor bars (or more for extra indulgence)

Instructions:

  1. Freeze the Skor bars: Begin by placing the Skor bars in the freezer to chill thoroughly. This will make them easier to crush into delicious pieces later on.

  2. Beat the eggs: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are fluffy and pale in color. This step is crucial for achieving a smooth and creamy texture in your ice cream.

  3. Incorporate sugar: Gradually add the sugar to the beaten eggs, continuing to beat until the mixture is well combined. The sugar will sweeten the ice cream base and contribute to its creamy consistency.

  4. Add dairy and vanilla: Pour in the half-and-half, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until the ingredients are fully incorporated. This rich and velvety base sets the stage for the Skor bar goodness to come.

  5. Churn the mixture: Transfer the ice cream base into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Churning incorporates air into the mixture and helps create that signature Ben & Jerry’s denseness.

  6. Prepare Skor bar pieces: While the ice cream is churning, take the frozen Skor bars and place them in a plastic bag. Using a knife handle or meat tenderizing mallet, crush the bars into small pieces. Aim for a variety of textures, with some larger chunks and some fine crumbs.

  7. Mix in Skor bar pieces: Once the ice cream has reached a thick, soft-serve consistency, it’s time to add the crushed Skor bars. Gently fold them into the ice cream until evenly distributed. The combination of creamy ice cream and crunchy candy is simply irresistible!

  8. Transfer and freeze: Transfer the Skor bar ice cream into a Tupperware container or other freezer-safe vessel. Smooth the top with a spatula, then cover and place it in the freezer to firm up. It’s tempting, but try to resist sampling until it’s fully frozen!

Notes:

  • Chunky Skor bar texture: Aim to crush most of the Skor bars into fine crumbs, but don’t overdo it! Leave some larger 1-inch and 1/2-inch chunks for extra texture and crunch in every bite.
  • Dense and creamy: Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is known for its thick, dense texture, achieved by minimizing the amount of air whipped into the mixture during churning. Embrace the richness!
  • Get creative: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different candy additions! Substitute Heath bars, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Oreos, Kit Kats, M&M’s, or any other favorite treats for the Skor bars. The possibilities are endless, and each variation brings its own delicious twist to this indulgent dessert.

Indulge in this homemade Skor Bar Ice Cream, lovingly crafted in the style of Ben & Jerry’s, for a frozen treat that’s sure to become a household favorite. Enjoy the creamy goodness and crunchy surprises with every spoonful! 🍨
