WHAT ARE MOOSE TRACKS?

Some versions even include caramel or cookie dough.

The name comes from the “tracks” of the chocolate and candies left in the ice cream!

ANY ADDITIONS?

Want to make your Moose Tracks even more fun?

Try mixing in or topping it with these:

• Crushed chocolate cookies
• Chopped caramel candies
• Swirls of peanut butter
• Bits of brownies
• Chopped tree nuts (like almonds or pecans)
• Mini marshmallows
• Chocolate chips
• Crushed pretzels
• Whipped cream on top
• A drizzle of chocolate syrup or caramel
• Pour a little chocolate liquor on top for the adults!

ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?

Need to switch something up?

Here are some easy ingredient swaps:

• Use coconut oil-based fudge instead of regular hot fudge
• Swap peanut butter cups with chocolate chips if avoiding peanuts
• Use soy lecithin-free chocolate if needed
• Use vanilla beans instead of extract for a stronger flavor
• Use sugar-free condensed milk for a lighter version
• Substitutions like whole milk or nonfat milk for heavy cream won’t work because they won’t whip up like whipped cream, they stay runny.

ROOM TEMPERATURE: Don’t leave it out too long! Ice cream melts fast and can get too soft.

Only leave it out when serving.

REFRIGERATOR: The fridge isn’t cold enough to keep ice cream frozen, so it’s not a good storage spot.

FREEZER: This is the best way to store your homemade Moose Tracks.

Cover the ice cream tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, and freeze for up to 2 weeks for the best taste and texture.

Moose Tracks Ice Cream is one of those desserts that makes people smile.

It’s creamy and packed with peanut butter cups- don’t forget the famous moose tracks fudge!
