Here’s one of several recipes from the promo mini-cookbook, “Party recipes made with your favorite candies,” that the Mars/m&ms Company distributed in magazines nationwide around Christmastime in the late 1960/early 1970s.
All of the recipes used candy bars in new and unique ways — like this rolled ice cream log, made of Milky Way candy bars. (Want more? Don’t miss these two treat how-tos: 3 Musketeers chocolate velvet pie and Peanut m&ms confetti cream cones.)
Milky Way ice cream log recipe
Yield:
12 servings
Ingredients
- 6 Milky Way candy bars (or 13 fun sized bars)
- 2 cups cream for whipping
- 3 pints pistachio ice cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Red and green food colorings
Instructions
- Cut an 8-cup round plastic juice container in half lengthwise; seal top end of each half with foil. Line molds smoothly with foil.
- Cut up Milky Way candy bars. Combine with 1/4 cup cream in a saucepan. Stir over very low heat until candy melts; cool completely.
- Beat 3/4 cup of cream until stiff. Fold in chocolate mixture.
- Unmold ice cream by pulling up on foil; then peeling off. Join the halves together to form a "log." Put back in the freezer while preparing the frosting.
- Beat remaining 1 cup cream with sugar and vanilla until stiff. Frost the log with part of the cream.
- Tint remaining cream with food coloring; decorate "log" with pink flowers and green leaves. Keep frozen.
