BEN & JERRY'S HEATH BAR CRUNCH ICE CREAM RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Ben & Jerry's Heath Bar Crunch Ice Cream Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 original Heath bars (1 1/8oz)
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy or whipping cream
1 cup milk
2 tspn vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Using a sharp knife, cut the candy bars into ½" - 1" chunks (about 1 cup). Put into a bowl, cover & freeze. Whisk eggs in mixing bowl until light & fluffy (1-2 minutes.) Whisk in sugar a little at a time, then continue until well blended, about 1 more minute. Add cream, milk, and vanilla, and whisk to blend. Put in ice cream maker and freeze according to maker's directions. After ice cream stiffens, about 2 minutes before it is done, add the candy, then continue freezing until ready.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is a good choice.
  • Make sure the rice cereal is fresh and crispy. Stale cereal will make the bars less crunchy.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar syrup by dropping a small amount into a bowl of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup. If it gets too hot, it will become hard and brittle.
  • Work quickly when assembling the bars. The chocolate will start to set quickly, so you need to get everything in place before it hardens.

Conclusion:

Crunch bars are a delicious and easy-to-make candy bar that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and crunchy treat that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a homemade candy bar to make, give crunch bars a try.
