A Rich Treat that’s Hard to Resist
This delightfully over-the-top ice cream flavor was originally created in 1991 by Denali Flavors in New York. The name “Moose Tracks” was coined from the deep tracks that moose often make in the vast wilderness. Since then, it has evolved to be enjoyed in stores and now, you can also create this delectable masterpiece in the comfort of your home.
Making this Scrumptious Dish a Little Simpler
If you’re a wee bit skeptical about whipping up this treat, don’t be. Making homemade Moose Tracks Ice Cream is actually an achievable feat that only requires some basic ingredients, simple instructions, and a healthy dose of patience.
The Essential Ingredients That Make this Ice Cream So Great
To re-create this epic dessert, you will need the following essential ingredients. These items can be found in most grocery stores, so no extra excuses:
#### For the Ice Cream Base
* 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream (If you’re considering making a low-fat version, now’s the time to compromise)
* 1 cup (240ml) whole milk (Organic or full-fat is recommended, but regular works too)
* ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar (We know, it’s sweet, but sweet is good)
* 1 tbsp vanilla extract (Avoid putting vanilla-flavored alcohol – instead, choose real vanilla)
* A pinch of salt (Trust us, salt does wonders to your taste buds)
* 4 large egg yolks (Don’t even think about using egg substitutes or it might as well be egg-free)
#### For the Moose Tracks Mix-ins
* ½ cup (120g) peanut butter (This creamy favorite could be crushed or plain, so feel free to pick whichever you fancy)
* ½ cup (120ml) chocolate fudge sauce (Warm this gem in the saucepan or zap it in the microwave)
* ½ cup (60g) mini peanut butter cups (No larger versions allowed—those minuscule peanut butter darlings bring out the fun)
The Making of the Magic: Ice Cream Base
#### Step 1: Gather courage to heat things up in a medium saucepan.
* In this magical saucepan, pour together 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, ¾ cup of sugar, and an ounce of vanilla-flavored whimsy.
#### Step 2: Crack in some hard work with the egg yolks.
* Remove your mixture from the burner and carefully whisk the four egg yolks until things look creamy and super cool.
#### Step 3: Softly and carefully introduce the egg yolk mixture to its cooler cousin back in the saucepan.
* For about 5 to 7 minutes or as long as the mixture is perfect, keep the temperatures even and steady to prevent excessive egg mixture chaos.
