Southern Ice Cream Social

It’s an old fashioned Ice Cream Social with Kitchen Bouquet today!

I’ve posted here previously about my favorite store bought ice cream. That would be Bluebell Strawberry and Homemade Vanilla.

My favorite homemade would be Butterfinger Ice Cream like my Mama used to make:

Homemade Butterfinger Ice Cream

4 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups peanut butter, melted
1 cup raw sugar
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
3 to 4 regular sized Butterfinger candy bars, frozen
1/8 tsp real vanilla extract
1 pint heavy whipping cream or half-and-half (if desired, for richer ice cream)
1 gallon milk (whole or 2 percent)

Crush candy bars in a plastic bag (a rolling pin does a great job). Mix all ingredients except whole milk in a bowl. Reserve some crushed candy for ice cream topping. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and add whole milk to the container’s fill line.

Place the container into your ice cream bucket, adding layers of ice and rock salt around it. Prepare according to your ice cream freezer’s instructions.

Y’all have fun today and go see all the other great ice cream ideas!

    Your ice cream sounds absolutely delicious. I did have one question, though. Does it matter how much of that gallon of milk you end up using. My ice cream maker is smaller than some others I have seen, so I wouldn’t use as much as maybe another would use. Is that still okay?

    I love Butterfingers and peanut butter, so an ice cream with both would be heavenly!

    All these postings are making me crave ice cream, but it’s only 6:45am, do you think it would be okay to have ice cream for breakfast? I could sprinkle some granola on top…

    I had to come back after you visited and commented on the snow ice cream. I have been amazed that so many had not heard of it. I will have to go back and search and read your post on it. Thanks for stopping by.

    This really does sound great. The combination will drive mere mortals crazy. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us. Oh, we have Blue Bell ice cream whenever we visit the Texas branch of the family.

    Butterfingers are one of my all-time favorite candy bars! I’m sure I would love this recipe.

    I love Butterfingers! I have never thought I would like peanut butter in ice cream, but now I am rethinking this. Butterfinger ice cream sound great right now.

    DH just brought me a plate of breakfast, or I would be headed to the fridge to snag a Butterfinger!

    We love Blue Bell, too. My dear younger sis is moving to Nebraska at the end of the month and she is heartbroken that they don’t have Blue Bell. She is single and buys it in pints and has to have some every night before going to bed.

    OMG – looking at all these ice cream postings is getting too much. Butterfinger ice cream sounds perfect..makes me want to go to DQ and get a blizzard!!
    Great post…

    Oh wowwwwwwwww I would LOVE the Butterfinger Ice Cream. Butterfingers are definitely at the very top of my list for favorite candy bar and the addition of the peanutbutter sounds just amazing. I’m doing this recipe VERY soon. Sounds decadent.

    I love Bluebell too! Unfortunately we don’t get it out here in Washington. I think it tastes the most like homemade of any brand out there.

    Thank so much for joining in at the social. I am getting such a kick out of all these great recipes people are posting. And there are no calories reading about them!

    Love butterfingers in ice cream – what’s NOT to love. Sonic’s butterfinger blast is one of my hugh indulgences. I will save your recipe in my files for a company’s coming event – otherwise, I would eat it all myself. Have you tried Blue Bell’s new summer flavor – blackberry cobbler. Hope to see you at Crock Pot Wednesdays on Dining With Debbie beginning August 5.
