How to Make It

Whipping up this ice cream is easy and requires just a few simple steps.

Whip the cream

Whip the heavy cream in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer on high until stiff peaks form. This usually takes about 3 minutes.

Fold in ingredients

Pour in condensed milk and vanilla, and gently fold it in using a rubber spatula until thoroughly combined.

Mix in flavors

Gently fold in two tablespoons of caramel sauce, two tablespoons of chocolate sauce, half a cup of Snickers, and a quarter cup of peanuts until well mixed.

Pour into the pan

Pour the mixture into a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Add the remaining caramel sauce and chocolate sauce on top and use a knife or spatula to swirl in.

Add toppings

Sprinkle the remaining Snickers and peanuts on top. Place in the freezer for 6-8 hours, or until the ice cream has set.

Once the ice cream has set, remove it from the freezer and serve.
