Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut candy bars into bite-sized pieces.
- Add Eagle Brand milk to the candy pieces and microwave until melted.

- Pour the mixture into an ice cream freezer.
- Fill the remaining space with regular homogenized milk.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using homemade caramel or chocolate sauce in place of Hershey's syrup. If you want to reduce sweetness, use dark chocolate candy bars. Make sure to stir the mixture thoroughly after microwaving to ensure even melting. If using a traditional ice cream maker, chill the mixture before freezing for smoother texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Milky Way Freezer Ice Cream in chilled bowls for a delightful treat. Pair it with fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas for a refreshing contrast. For an extra indulgence, drizzle more Hershey's syrup on top or serve alongside slices of Mama Barringer'S Pecan Pie for a decadent dessert experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. To reheat, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes, or microwave on low power for short intervals until slightly softened. This will help bring back some creaminess without melting it completely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of candy bars?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different candy bars like Snickers or Reese's for unique flavors. Just keep in mind that the overall sweetness and texture may vary depending on your choice. Mixing in various candies can also create interesting combinations that elevate your ice cream.
What if I don't have an ice cream freezer?
If you don't have an ice cream freezer, you can still make this treat using a standard freezer. After pouring the mixture into a container, freeze it and stir every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours. This will help break up ice crystals and create a creamier texture.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Yes, you can make a dairy-free version by using coconut milk or almond milk instead of regular homogenized milk and replacing Eagle Brand milk with a dairy-free condensed milk alternative. Be sure to choose dairy-free candy bars to maintain the recipe's integrity.
