Camel Tracks Ice Cream

Submitted by CardaMom

"While travelling in the States last summer, my kids and I developed an addiction to Moose Tracks ice cream. (DH isn't much of an ice cream lover) Unfortunately, we can't get Moose Tracks here in Israel... so I decided to concoct my own version. Here's the recipe, my DD came up with the name.

This was really good! I wish the coffee flavor was a little more prominent, so I will add more next time and add some chocolate rippes possibly. I used 2 cups cream and 1 cup skim milk, whole cup of chopped peanut buttter cups. We're drizzling on chocolate and more peanut butter cups, too. :) Thanks, CardaMom!
