Tips & Substitutions
To achieve a smoother texture, ensure the Milky Way bars are melted thoroughly before adding them to the mixture. If you want a lighter version, substitute half of the sugar with a sugar alternative. For a creamier consistency, consider using heavy cream instead of milk. This recipe also pairs beautifully with Mandarin Oranges In A Cloud for a delightful dessert spread.

It pairs well with fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas for a balanced dessert. This ice cream is also a fantastic topping for layered desserts or as a filling for ice cream sandwiches.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. To serve again, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly before scooping. Avoid refreezing any melted ice cream to maintain quality.
