Blue Choc-A- Saurus Ice Cream

This no churn Blue Choc-A- Saurus Ice Cream is made of blue vanilla ice cream, chocolate wafer candy, and fudge swirls. It was inspired by my son’s favorite childhood ice cream stand flavor.

Hi friends! I’m back from Arizona. I had such a great time visiting my family. Quality time with them was much needed. And the weather was heavenly! It was sunny, dry, and comfortable, with the temps in the high 70’s and 80’s. My middle sister, who lives up in the mountains of Colorado, where it is still snowing at the end of May, couldn’t get over the beautiful weather. Every single time we stepped outside, the words “it’s so nice out” automatically flew out of our mouths. 

I like to think that I brought back the nice weather, as my first day back in Massachusetts was sunny and warm. And when warm weather arrives, I think of ice cream.

My family’s favorite ice cream stand is a local family-owned business that has a location literally less than a 10-minute walk from my house. This location closed about 4 years ago. Luckily for us, there is another about 10-minute drive away. They offer 75 flavors of ice cream and frozen yogurt. 75!!!!

The stand is open seasonally, so my family looks forward to our summer pilgrimages to the land where the most delicious ice cream lives. One of the house’s signature offerings is the Nor’Easter, which consists of 6 scoops of ice cream, 5 toppings, a banana, whipped cream, and walnuts. I am proud to say that yours truly participated in what my family calls the Nor’Easter Challenge one time and succeeded without dying on the spot. (Checked it off my bucket list!) Not only did I succeed, but I also went out for dinner four hours later. But, truth be told, I wasn’t feeling very well at dinner. Not doing that again…too much, too soon!!

Today’s post was inspired by my son’s favorite flavor from the stand. He loved it ever since he was a little boy. It comprises blue vanilla ice cream with chocolaty crispies and fudge swirls. I believe the chocolaty crispies are actually Nestle Crunch candy. I call my recreation Blue Choc-A-Saurus, and it differs from the original in that it has no churn and contains Kit Kat. The only reason for the change up in candy is the lack of availability of Nestle Crunch candy bars. I can only find it sold in variety packs and not as a standalone unit. Kit Kat has similar components and is much more accessible to me. I want all the ingredients for this ice cream to be easily accessible. While delicious in this ice cream, Kit Kat does not retain the crunch as well as the aforementioned. If you have easy access to Nestle Crunch or would like to order it online, I say go for it!

Please excuse the puddle of ice cream in the photos. In my haste to conduct the photo shoot prior to leaving for vacation, I used ice cream that was not completely set. As a result, it melted very quickly despite all my efforts to keep everything ice cold. Anywho, I hope you like how it looks enough to want to eat the entire bowl! 

See you next time!

Description

This no churn Blue Choc-A- Saurus Ice Cream is made of blue vanilla ice cream, chocolate wafer candy, and fudge swirls. It was inspired by my son’s favorite childhood ice cream stand flavor.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cup heavy cream
• 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• blue food coloring (I use1/4 teaspoon sky blue icing color)
• 8 snack-size Kit Kat bars (about 4 ounces), chopped
• 1/3 cup hot fudge
• 1/16 tsp. salt

Instructions

1. Add sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt to a large bowl and thoroughly combine. Set aside.
2. Add food coloring to the heavy cream in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric beater on low and gradually increasing to medium-high, beat just until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Add 1/3 of the whipped cream to the condensed milk mixture and gently fold. Continue adding and folding the whipped cream, 1/3 at a time.
3. If needed, microwave the hot fudge for a few seconds to obtain a spreadable consistency. Place 1/3 of the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container. Drizzle with 1/3 of the hot fudge. Add 1/3 of the chopped chocolate. Continue layering two more times.
4. Freeze for at least 8 hours; it is best overnight.
5. Makes 8 servings.
