No-Churn Honey Vanilla & Butterfinger Crunch Ice Cream

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

“Sweet days of summer, the jasmine’s in bloom… July is dressed up and playing her tune…” ~Seals & Crofts

No-Churn Honey Vanilla & Butterfinger Ice Cream ciaochowbambina.com

Ahhhh, sweet days of summer made even sweeter by this Honey Vanilla & Butterfinger Crunch Ice Cream. Best part? There’s no machine involved in the making of this sweet treat.

Hey, were you guys aware that President Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month? Yep, back in 1984 it became law that every US citizen is required to eat ice cream every day during the month of July. Wait. That doesn’t sound right. Or maybe it does. It’s a free country…I say we perceive the President’s proclamation any way we see fit.

Okay – I have a confession to make. I have never really loved ice cream.

Until now!!!

No-churn has made a believer out of me. I am not kidding. This ice cream is the creamiest creamy cream I’ve ever had. And the fact that I can decide the flavors, textures and even colors is a very exciting concept to me. It’s so real. So satisfying. So decadent. So homemade. You know what I mean by that. Is there anything better than homemade anything? Nope. You know it. I know it. Let’s all take this leap together. So, whether you’re an ice cream lover, liker, or on the fencer – please do yourself the favor of making this. It will change your life. Okay – that might be pushing it – but, it will certainly change your life for the few hours that you’re waiting for it to freeze, cue Carly Simon’s Anticipation, and the time that it takes for you to enjoy it.

And I recommend that you take your time enjoying it. This is one of those treats you want to be aware of with every bite…

The fact that we can make this without an ice cream maker also means that we can make it as often as we’d like with very little mess.

It’s just a matter of whipping up some heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk with other fun ingredients like vanilla, honey and Butterfinger bars, and then freezing.

Guys, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship…

This is gonna be fun!

Buon Appetito!

    Well I ADORE ice cream and am adding this to my summer must-make list! Honey vanilla anything is something I obviously want to be eating…and the butterfinger crunch is just an added bonus.

    Annie, I cant handle this deliciousness. Well I CAN. But i cant. U understand? If I’m not making sense it’s because I’m utterly speachless over this NO CHURN ice cream’s dreaminess. Like I said. I cant. No words. Just hand me a vat and let me go to town on this stuff. Honey AND butterfingers?¿?¿ Giiiiiirrrrlllll. I NEED!!!!!!!! Serious drooling…. ♡ xoxo.

    Okay, actually, I”m with you, I don’t really like ice cream. HOWEVER, I get inordinately excited about fun and delicious new flavors, especialllly when they have mix ins. I always feel ice cream is too watery (I much prefer gelato), but this looks creamy and packed with goodies 🙂

So exciting you’ve discovered it now and you can make us drool worthy recipes like this one! OMG – do you know how long it’s been since I had a butterfinger?? Whaaa?? And then you put honey on it! Good grief, Annie! Somehow, among all the ice cream and popsicles in my freezer, I’ll have to find room! That shot of the honey… OMGeeee!! Just beautiful my dear… Thank you for this and have a beautiful weekend!

    I don’t have an ice-cream maker and I always see other people post great ice-cream recipes and I feel like I’m missing out somehow – but not anymore thanks to you. Definitely trying this next week – we’re in for a bit of a heat waver and honey vanilla butterfinger ice-cream sounds perfect!! Thanks for a great recipe, Annie.

    This seriously looks like the best ice cream ever! This is so nostalgic for me because we used to always eat butterfinger milkshakes growing up. I have to make this!

      Awhh! I love that! You know what? Butterfingers are nostalgic for me too! Not in a milkshake – though that sounds incredible! Just the bar…every weekend when we visited our grandparents, we would hit up the little corner store and this was the candy (amongst others) that I treated myself to! Thanks, Annie! Enjoy!

    Would you believe I’ve never made ice cream, and I even own an ice cream maker?! It’s been on my bucket list, and now you’ve inspired me to make it happen soon. This sounds so easy, and I can just imagine how much better it is than anything store-bought. Thanks for sharing!

      I do believe it..as this was my first time making it, too! And like you – we’ve had a maker sitting in our storage room for far too long! So glad I could inspire you! If you make it, I’d love to know what you think! Have a beautiful weekend, Andrea!
