    I love making my own ice cream, and I love Kit Kats. It only seemed natural to put the two together, and what I got was absolutely delicious!

    Kit Kat Ice Cream Recipe

    This was inspired by my other delicious ice cream recipe on this site and pairs well with waffle cones.

    Ingredients

    You only need a handful of simple ingredients to make this recipe. You'll find them all easily at your local grocery store.

    • Heavy cream
    • Sweetened condensed milk
    • Crushed Kit Kat bars
    • Vanilla extract
    • Cocoa powder (for chocolate Kit Kat ice cream)

    See the recipe card at the end of the post for quantities.

    Instructions

    Making this recipe is just as simple as gathering up the ingredients. It doesn't take much to make it!

    Step 1: Whip the Cream

    Whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

    Step 2: Combine Remaining Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, crushed Kit Kats, and vanilla extract and mix well.

    If making chocolate Kit Kat ice cream, add the cocoa powder, as well.

    Step 3: Combine and Freeze

    Gently fold the ingredients into the whipped cream. Then, pour the mixture into a 9x5 loaf pan or 2-quart container, cover, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.

    Hint: For the best ice cream, freeze overnight.

    Substitutions

    Normally, this is where I would give you substitution options for this Kit Kat ice cream recipe, but honestly, there's nothing you can really substitute. All the ingredients work together to make the ice cream, and without any one of them, it won't be the same.

    Variations

    Want to personalize this Kit Kat ice cream recipe? Here are some of my tried and true tips for changing up this recipe.

    • Your Favorite Candy Bars - Try using your favorite candy bar pieces to make this a totally different ice cream.
    • Chocolate Swirl - Try adding a drizzle of chocolate sauce when you fold the ice cream together for a fun chocolate swirl.

    Equipment

    It takes next to nothing to make this easy recipe. You'll only need a few simple pieces of kitchen equipment.

    • Large mixing bowl
    • 9 x 5 inch loaf pan or 2-quart container
    • Hand mixer
    • Rubber spatula
    • Ice cream scoop

    Storage

    Store this ice cream in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

    Tips

    This recipe is so simple, but I still have some tips that will help you make it the best it can possibly be.

    • Crush but don't pulverize the Kit Kat bars. You want nice bite-size pieces in the ice cream.
    • Fold the whipped cream and remaining ingredients together to preserve the whipped cream's creamy texture.
    • Use up your ice cream in 2 weeks or less. After 2 weeks, it can become grainy.

    FAQ

    Do you have questions about this Kit Kat ice cream recipe? Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about Kit Kat ice cream.

    Why do you use whipped cream in homemade ice cream?

    The whipped cream helps the ice cream's texture and makes it scoopable.

    How long is this ice cream good?

    Store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

    Why is homemade ice cream only good for 2 weeks?

    After 2 weeks, ice crystals begin to form, making the ice cream grainy.

    Why is my ice cream's texture off?

    The usual reason that homemade ice cream has an odd texture is due to stirring the ice cream rather than folding it. If you stir the ice cream ingredients into the whipped cream, you'll deflate the whipped cream.
