Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. Stir gently until fully incorporated, creating a smooth and creamy base.
- Add Flavor: Mix in the vanilla extract thoroughly to infuse the base with a warm, sweet aroma and flavor.
- Incorporate Mix-ins: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips, ensuring an even distribution without deflating the cream.
- Freeze the Mixture: Pour the combined mixture into a prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Cover and place it in the freezer.
- Set and Firm Up: Freeze the mixture for at least 6 hours or until it is completely firm and set to bar-like consistency.
- Serve: Once frozen solid, cut into bars of your preferred size and serve immediately for a refreshing and indulgent frozen treat.
Notes
- Use a lined pan with parchment paper for easier removal of bars.
- You can substitute nuts according to your preference or omit for a nut-free version.
- Ensure the mix is well chilled before cutting to prevent melting.
- Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness.
