Instructions
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the cream, sugar and milk. Stirring often, heat until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
Add the vanilla extract and place in the refrigerator to chill fully (at least 3 hours) or overnight.
Pour the chilled ice cream base into an ice cream maker. Process ice cream in an ice cream maker per the manufacturer’s instructions. To prepare the ice cream without a machine, click here.
While the ice cream is processing, combine all the candy into a large bowl and mix together.
Line the bottom of a large 3-4 quart freezer-safe container with some of the candy. Layer on 1/3-1/2 of the ice cream; repeat until all the ingredients are in the container.
With a large mixing spoon, fold the ingredients in together so the candy is well mixed into the soft ice cream. Seal and place in the freezer overnight.
