Irresistible Microwave Butterfinger Custard
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Butterfinger candy bars, chopped (about 4 fun-size bars)
Instructions
1. Prep the Ingredients
Begin by chopping the Butterfinger candy bars into small, bite-sized pieces. Set them aside for later.
2. Mixing the Custard Base
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, pure vanilla extract, and salt. Stir the mixture gently with a whisk until the sugar is mostly dissolved, and the ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Microwave Heating
Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for 4 minutes. After 2 minutes, pause and stir the mixture, then continue microwaving for the remaining 2 minutes. This process helps ensure that the mixture heats evenly.
4. Incorporating Butterfinger
Remove the bowl from the microwave carefully, as it will be hot. Add the chopped Butterfinger candy bars to the warm custard base. Stir gently until the candy is evenly distributed and begins to melt slightly into the custard.
5. Final Heating
Return the bowl to the microwave and heat on medium for an additional 2 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the custard to thicken.
6. Cooling the Custard
Remove the mixture from the microwave and let it cool for 10 minutes at room temperature. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. After cooling, transfer the custard to serving dishes.
7. Chill and Serve
Place the serving dishes in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until the custard is well chilled. Serve your Irresistible Microwave Butterfinger Custard cold, garnished with additional Butterfinger crumbles if desired.
