Skor Bar Ice Cream -- Ben & Jerry Style

Mirj's Note:

I adore Ben & Jerry's ice cream, and I adore Skor bars. This marries two of my favorite foods into one uber-ice cream!

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 quart

• 5 hershey's Skor candy bars (if you can bear to part with them)
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 cups whipping cream
• 1 ½ cups half-and-half
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract (splurge on the real stuff)

Directions:

1. Freeze the Skor bars.
2. Beat the eggs until fluffy.
3. Slowly beat in the sugar.
4. Add the cream, the half-and-half and the vanilla and mix well.
5. Pour the mixture into your ice-cream maker and freeze.
6. While the ice cream is freezing take the frozen Skor bars and put them in a plastic bag and break them into small pieces with a knife handle or a meat tenderizing mallet.
7. When the ice cream is done, remove it from the container and mix in the Skor bar pieces.
8. Pour into a Tupperware and freeze.
9. Note: Most of the Skor bars should be crushed into crumbs, but stop abusing the candy when there are still some 1 inch and 1/2 inch chunks left.
10. Another note: Ben& Jerry's ice cream is known for it's denseness and lack of air.
11. The less air in the ice cream, the thicker the consistency.
12. You may find that this recipe fills up your ice cream maker more than you are used to.
13. One last note, I promise: You can try experimenting with this recipe, substituting Heath bars, Reese's Peanture Butter Cups, Oreos, Kit Kats, M&m's and any other fun stuff for the Skor bars.

YUMMY!!! I used Kit Kat bars and made this ice-cream. Now there are two of us who adore this :-) I can't wait for tomorrow afternoon to share this with a few kids coming home for lunch. I know they'll lick the spoon clean!

Absolutely the BEST homemade ice cream I have ever had!! I used Butterfinger bars and loved it! I did add an extra candy bar since 6 came in the pack....couldn't stand to leave one all by itself!! Thanks for an awesome recipe!
