Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the caramel, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture until it thickens and forms soft peaks.
14 oz ready-made caramel,
2⅛ cups heavy cream,
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Gently fold in most of the chopped Mars bars, reserving a small amount for topping.
8.8 oz Mars bars
Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining Mars bar pieces over the top for decoration.
Cover the container with plastic wrap, then wrap again to prevent ice crystals forming.
Place in the freezer for at least 8 hours, or until fully set.
When ready to serve, remove from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
Notes
Tips and Tricks
Whisk to soft peaks:
This gives the ice cream a light, creamy texture without needing an ice cream maker.
Don’t overmix
: Fold in the chocolate gently to keep the mixture airy.
Chop evenly:
Similar-sized Mars bar pieces help distribute the flavor throughout.
Double wrapping
: Helps prevent freezer burn and keeps the texture smooth.
Serving tip:
Dip your scoop in warm water for easier serving.
Storage:
Keep frozen and covered for up to 2 months for best quality.
