Heath Bar Crunch Ice Cream

This is Eric's favorite ice cream.
Makes generous 1 quart.

4 original Heath Bars (1-1/8 ounces each)
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy or whipping cream
1 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Using a sharp knife (or food processor), cut the candy bars into 1/2-to 1-inch chunks. You should have about 1 cup. Place the chunks in a bowl, cover and freeze.

Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream, milk, vanilla extract, and whisk to blend.

Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer’s instructions.

After the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done), add the candy, then continue freezing until the ice cream is ready.
