Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups heavy cream

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • 1½ tsp pure vanilla extract

  • ½ cup chocolate fudge sauce (plus extra for swirls)

  • ¾ cup mini peanut butter cups, halved

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Prep the Base
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  • Churn the Ice Cream
    Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes 20–25 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  • Add Mix-Ins
    During the last 2–3 minutes of churning, add the halved mini peanut butter cups and a generous drizzle of fudge sauce.

  • Layer & Swirl
    Transfer half of the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container. Add a few spoonfuls of fudge sauce and gently swirl with a knife. Repeat with the remaining ice cream and fudge.

  • Freeze
    Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

  • Serve & Enjoy
    Scoop, serve in a cone or bowl, and enjoy your homemade moose tracks ice cream!

Notes

  • No Ice Cream Maker?
    You can still enjoy this recipe by whipping the heavy cream to soft peaks, folding in the remaining base ingredients, then freezing for 6–8 hours.

  • Mix-In Ideas
    Feel free to add crushed Oreos, brownie chunks, or even a swirl of peanut butter for an extra indulgent twist.

  • Storage Tip
    Store in an airtight container in the coldest part of your freezer. For best texture, let it sit out for 5 minutes before scooping.

  • Fudge Swirl
    For best results, use room-temperature fudge sauce to make swirling easier and more even.
