Super easy, no-churn Moose Tracks Ice Cream is loaded with peanut butter cups and ribbons of chocolate fudge. No ice cream maker required!
Have you ever had moose tracks ice cream before? There are many peanut butter and chocolate combo lovers in our house – so that flavor is enjoyed quite frequently around here.
One time there was an event coming up and we wanted to have a little treat to celebrate. It isn’t always convenient or possible for us to get to the store these days, so I decided to make our own Moose Tracks. I have to tell you, it turned out so much better than anything I could have bought. I know you’ll love it!
Just look at that fudge ripple in there. Paired with the little pieces of peanut butter cups – it is DIVINE. Everyone in the house agrees that this is their absolute favorite.
I love that it is so simple to make and I can often do it with things I already have on hand here. The only thing I need to be sure to have is heavy whipping cream. That one I need to plan for – but all of the other ingredients are things I already keep as staples in the pantry – so it’s all good!

Here are some commonly asked questions
What is no-churn ice cream?
When making ice cream you would usually use an ice cream maker. The mixture you pour into it would slowly mix and churn as it freezes – which gives it that creamy texture.
With these no-churn recipes, the ingredients used and mixed together create an ice cream that is already ultra creamy, eliminating the need for the ice cream maker. It not only saves time but the result is positively delicious!

How can I make this chocolate?
If you would prefer to have the base as chocolate instead of creamy vanilla, just add 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-processed) to the sweetened condensed milk before adding it to the mixture. You can also use chocolate malt milk powder if desired.

Can this recipe be doubled?
Sure thing – if you have a mixer that can accommodate the volume of the ingredients when you double this recipe – then I highly recommend doubling this recipe. It does go fast – so if you have a whole lot of peanut butter lovers that you will be serving this to- you will need the extra.

This recipe calls for a stand mixer. Can I also make this recipe by hand?
Because of the need to whip the heavy cream at such a high speed in order to reach the stiff peaks needed, I don’t think that is possible when using a whisk or doing this by hand. You could, however, use a hand mixer and that would work just fine. It will take a bit longer than using a stand mixer but it will work.

Tips for the best Moose Tracks Ice Cream
- Don’t store ice cream in the door – place it as far back in the freezer as possible.
- No substitutions for this recipe – you need full-fat versions of all of the ingredients. Going low-fat or sugar-free will make it lack flavor and texture.
- Freezing in a metal container will make it freeze faster.
- Also – freezing in a more shallow container will help it to freeze faster as well.
- Don’t over-mix once you add the fudge sauce – otherwise, you’ll end up with chocolate ice cream. You want a defined ribbon of chocolate throughout the ice cream.
- If properly stored, it could last up to 6 months. Keep covered properly and don’t let it sit out at room temperature for too long.
- Run the ice cream scooper under hot water between scoops for the smoothest, cleanest scoops.
