Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup chopped Snickers bars
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup of chopped Snickers bars, 1/4 cup of chocolate syrup, 1/4 cup of caramel sauce, and 1/4 cup of chopped peanuts.
- In a large mixing bowl, take the 2 cups of vanilla ice cream and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. This will make it easier to mix in the other ingredients.
- Once the ice cream has softened, add the 1/2 cup of chopped Snickers bars to the bowl. Use a spatula to gently fold the Snickers into the ice cream until evenly distributed.
- Next, drizzle in the 1/4 cup of chocolate syrup and the 1/4 cup of caramel sauce. Continue to fold the mixture gently to combine the sauces with the ice cream, creating a marbled effect.
- After the sauces are incorporated, add the 1/4 cup of chopped peanuts to the mixture. Fold them in gently to ensure they are evenly spread throughout the ice cream.
- Once everything is well combined, transfer the mixture into a suitable container or an ice cream tub. Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
- Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap, and place it in the freezer for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up slightly.
- After the ice cream has chilled, it is ready to serve. Scoop the Easy Snickers Ice Cream into bowls or cones, and if desired, drizzle additional chocolate syrup and caramel sauce on top for extra flavor.
- Garnish with a few extra chopped peanuts if you like, and enjoy your delicious homemade Easy Snickers Ice Cream!
Tips
- For the best texture, let the ice cream soften slightly at room temperature for about 5 minutes before mixing. This makes blending ingredients much easier.
- Use a high-quality vanilla ice cream as your base for maximum flavor richness.
- Chop the Snickers bars and peanuts into small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the ice cream.
- When folding in ingredients, use a gentle motion to maintain the ice cream's creamy texture and create beautiful marbled effects.
- For an extra indulgent touch, freeze your serving bowls beforehand to keep the ice cream cold longer.
- If you want a firmer consistency, let the ice cream sit in the freezer for 1-2 hours before serving.
- Feel free to experiment by adding additional toppings like chocolate chips or a sprinkle of sea salt for a gourmet twist!
