Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 ounces Bittersweet chocolate
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Butterfinger candy bars (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the mixture continuously until the sugar dissolves and the cocoa powder is fully incorporated. Do not let it boil.

Step 3

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the bittersweet chocolate until it melts and becomes smooth.

Step 4

Let the mixture cool slightly, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until completely chilled.

Step 6

Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes.

Step 7

Just before the ice cream finishes churning, add the chopped Butterfinger candy bars and let them mix in evenly.

Step 8

Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.

Step 9

Scoop, serve, and enjoy your homemade chocolate Butterfinger ice cream!
