For the Ice Cream Base:
- 2 cups heavy cream – Creates a rich velvety texture.
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk – Adds sweetness and keeps the ice cream smooth.
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract – Enhances the classic vanilla flavor.

Instructions
Method: How to Make Quick Moose Tracks Ice Cream
- Ready to dive into the fun part? Here’s a step-by-step guide to making your no-churn Moose Tracks ice cream—it’s as easy as it is delicious!
Step 1: Whip Up the Base
- Start by chilling a large mixing bowl for a few minutes in the freezer. This will help your cream whip faster and hold its shape better. Once chilled, pour in the heavy cream and beat it with a hand mixer (or stand mixer) on medium speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Tip: Don’t over-whip! The cream should be smooth and thick, but not too stiff.
Step 2: Add the Sweetened Condensed Milk
- Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and the vanilla extract into the whipped cream. Gently fold them together until well combined. You should have a silky, creamy base that’s perfectly sweet but not too heavy.
- Pro tip: Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to incorporate everything!
Step 3: Layer in the Fudge and Peanut Butter Cups
- Now, here’s where the magic happens. Drizzle the chocolate fudge sauce over the creamy base, and then sprinkle in the chopped peanut butter cups. Use a spoon or spatula to gently swirl the fudge into the ice cream—this is what creates those irresistible, gooey chocolate ribbons.
- Tip: You can swirl in as much fudge as you like depending on how chocolaty you want it!
Step 4: Freeze and Set
- Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container (a loaf pan works great!). Use a spatula to smooth the top, and then cover it with plastic wrap or a lid. Pop it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until firm. The ice cream will freeze into a luscious, creamy texture that’s perfectly scoopable.
- Quick tip: For an extra smooth texture, freeze it overnight for the best results!
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
- Once the ice cream is firm, scoop it into bowls or cones and enjoy! You can drizzle a little more chocolate sauce on top or sprinkle with chopped nuts for an extra crunch.
