Ingredients

Directions

  1. Using a sharp knife, chop the Heath bars into 1/2-inch chunks until you have approximately 1 cup.
  2. Place the chopped candy in a bowl, cover, and freeze while you prepare the ice cream base.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously until light and fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Gradually whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, continuing to whisk until completely blended and smooth, about 1 minute more.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract, whisking gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  6. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  7. About 2 minutes before the churning cycle is complete, when the ice cream has stiffened slightly, add the frozen Heath bar chunks.
  8. Continue freezing until the ice cream is firm and ready to serve.

Note

Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours for best texture, or serve immediately for a softer consistency.

Ensure the Heath bars are well-chopped to distribute the crunch evenly throughout the ice cream.

For a richer flavor, you can use high-quality vanilla bean paste instead of extract.

If you do not have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a shallow dish, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals until firm.
