    Recipe FAQs:

    Can I substitute whipping cream for the heavy cream?

    For the best results with this recipe, heavy cream is essential. Otherwise, your ice cream will not have the same texture. Heavy whipping cream, also known as heavy cream, has a higher fat content, whips up thicker, and holds its shape better.

    Do I have to use Snickers, or can I substitute another candy bar?

    It will change the taste, but any of your favorite candy bars can be substituted. Next, I plan to make this recipe using PayDay and Butterfingers candy bars.

    Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

    Yes, it can be made ahead whenever convenient and served later.

    Expert tips:

    The only complicated thing about this recipe is whipping the cream. Correctly whipping it to the stiff peak stage is important to prevent ice crystals. Here are a few tips to ensure it turns out perfectly

    • For the best results in whipping your cream, start with cold heavy cream, and be sure your bowl and beaters are cold.
    • When using an electric mixer to whip cream, start on low and gradually increase to high. Also, keep a close eye on your cream; you want it to be at the stiff peak stage. This means that when you lift up your beater, the peaks stand up without falling over. Do not continue to beat after this stage, or you could end up with a bowl of butter.
