Ingredients
Scale
- 1¾ cup half and half – The creamy base for your ice cream
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk – Adds sweetness and rich texture
- ¼ cup PB2 powdered peanut butter – Brings nutty flavor with less fat
- ½ cup cream cheese – Enhances creaminess and depth
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract – Classic flavor enhancer
- 8 fun-size Butterfinger bars, chopped – Crunchy candy bits that star in the show
Optional Add-Ons

Substitutions and Shortcuts
- Milk Alternatives – Whole milk or almond/oat milk (texture may vary)
- Traditional Peanut Butter – Use instead of PB2, but reduce the condensed milk
- Candy Swaps – Try Snickers, Reese’s, or M&Ms for fun variations
Instructions
- Make the Base: In a blender, combine half and half, sweetened condensed milk, PB2, cream cheese, and vanilla. Blend until smooth and fully mixed.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container. Freeze for 24 hours until solid.
- Process: Remove the pint from the freezer and process it in your Ninja Creami using the “Lite Ice Cream” or “Ice Cream” setting.
- Add Mix-Ins: Create a small well in the center of the ice cream. Add the chopped Butterfinger bars and run the “Mix-In” cycle to incorporate them evenly.
- Serve: Scoop into bowls, and top with more Butterfinger pieces, chocolate syrup, or whipped cream if desired. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Freeze Time: 24 hours is essential for the right texture — don’t skip it!
- Blending Tip: Make sure your base is lump-free before freezing for smooth results.
- Storage: Re-spin leftovers for 1–2 minutes in Ninja Creami before next serving if needed.
