Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (473 ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (236 ml) M&Ms candies
- 1 cup (236 ml) Reeses peanut butter cups, chopped
Sweetener and Flavoring:
- 1 can (14 ounces or 397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whip the heavy cream in a spacious mixing vessel until it forms robust, towering peaks that hold their shape when the whisk is lifted.
- Incorporate the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, using delicate folding motions to maintain the cream’s airy texture while ensuring complete integration.
- Gently fold the colorful M&Ms and chunky Reeses peanut butter cup pieces throughout the creamy base, distributing them evenly to create a vibrant, textured mixture.
- Transfer the ice cream base into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the surface with a spatula to create an even layer and prevent air pockets.
- Artfully scatter additional M&Ms and Reeses pieces across the top, creating a visually appealing and inviting presentation.
- Securely cover the container with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Place in the freezer for a minimum of 6 hours, allowing the mixture to solidify completely and develop a rich, creamy consistency.
- When ready to serve, allow the ice cream to rest at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly, making scooping easier and enhancing the creamy texture.
- Scoop into chilled bowls or crisp waffle cones, garnishing with additional candy pieces if desired.
Notes
- Crush the M&Ms and Reeses slightly before adding to prevent large chunks from sinking to the bottom during freezing.
- Chill the mixing bowl and whisk beforehand to help heavy cream whip faster and achieve stiffer peaks more easily.
- For a lower-sugar version, use sugar-free condensed milk and dark chocolate candy pieces instead of traditional M&Ms.
- Experiment with alternative mix-ins like crushed cookies, chocolate chips, or different candy varieties to customize the ice cream’s flavor profile.
