I can neither confirm nor deny that I have made Homemade Butterfinger Ice Cream 4 times in the last month. If you’re a fan of Butterfingers and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, try this Candy Bar Peanut Butter Fudge recipe, which incorporates both candies.
I have a new favorite ice cream recipe. It’s this one. I am addicted and can’t get over how simple and delicious it is.
The vanilla-flavored base is perfect for adding any of your favorite candy bars or cookies. I feel it is my responsibility to test it with every candy bar and cookie out there before summer ends. The problem is I started with Oreos, which was AWESOME. Then I tried Butterfingers. I LOVE it so much with the Butterfingers that I haven’t moved on to test another candy bar yet…And I might have made the last batch in the middle of the night, so the children wouldn’t even know it existed. And I might have hidden it in the back of the freezer and not shared it with anyone…..I told you. I am addicted. I may need rehab for this. 🙂

My mom got this recipe from a friend. When she first told me about it and disclosed that it has eggs in it, I was, like, “No way! Not eating that.” Well….. she made it (with Oreos) while I was visiting her this summer. It looked so good I just had to try it, and then try a little more and a little more…..Moral of the story: don’t be afraid to make this ice cream just because it has raw eggs in it. I have eaten a whole lot of it, and I am still alive. Plus, I can justify eating it for breakfast because it has the added protein from the eggs. 🙂
HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE BUTTERFINGER ICE CREAM
- Combine the first four ingredients in an ice cream maker. Whisk well until completely blended.
- Add milk to the fill line and whisk again to ensure everything is thoroughly mixed.
- Follow your ice cream maker’s instructions to load and start your mixer. If it is like mine, you need to put a two-inch layer of ice and then about 1/4 cup rock salt. Repeat until the ice level is up to the top of the ice cream holder.
- As soon as the ice cream maker stops, pour ice cream into a large bowl and mix in the chopped candy bars. Put it in whatever container you want to store it in. (I put it back in the Ice Cream maker container I made it in.)
- Next, quickly put the ice cream in the freezer to set up.
- Enjoy!
Homemade Ice Cream makes me so happy! It’s a tradition that has been handed down for generations in my family. I am just so glad I live in a generation where Butterfinger Candy Bars exist.
Tips for making Homemade Butterfinger Ice Cream
- If you’re using double-strength vanilla extract, use 1 1/2 tsp instead of 1 tbsp.
- Use the same container the ice cream is made in to store it in the freezer.
- Use your favorite candy bars, cookies, or a combination of both in this recipe.

Overall…good. Though I do think that the ice cream could use a bit of sugar. If you have a good chunk of Butterfinger (and I love those chunks) it’s awesome. But if not, it’s a little bland. But overall, we enjoyed it!
Hi Heather, Thank you for trying the recipe. The base is a little on the “not-too-sweet” side, but that is what makes it such a great spring board for all kinds of add ins, It sounds like you might want to add a little more Butterfinger next time. You should also totally try it with crushed Oreo’s, it’s delicious!
