Candy Corn Ice Cream

This is the easiest, best ice cream recipe we've ever made. It's soooooo tasty! And it's fun!


I found the original recipe at the We Are Not Martha blog. They have great step-by-step photos if you need help making this, but it's really quite easy to do.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups heavy cream, divided
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk
• 20 oz container candy corn

1. Place 1 1/2 cups of the cream and about 16 oz of the candy corn in a non-stick sauce pan over medium heat. Stirring often, let the candy melt. The mixture will turn a light orange color.

2. Remove the pan from the heat and let come to room temperature, about 15 minutes.

3. Add the remaining cream and milk and stir. Place in a plastic container and place in freezer until almost frozen, about 3-4 hours.

4. Take 2 ounces of the remaining candy corn and chop. We found that you want fairly small pieces.

5. Add melted mixture to your ice cream maker and turn on per manufacturer's instructions. Add in the chopped candy mixture.Our maker, which usually takes 20 minutes, only needed 10 to get the ice cream to the desired consistency. Remove to a container and freeze until set, 2-3 hours.

6. Serve and top with some of the remaining candies.
