1-Melt the candy bars: Combine chopped Milky Way bars and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan or double boiler, melt over medium-low heat stirring often until smooth, about 5-8 minutes.

2-Cool the mixture: Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature to avoid cooking the milk and cream when added later.

3-Combine the base: Whisk in heavy cream, whole milk, dash of salt, and vanilla extract until silky.

4-Chill the base: Cover and refrigerate the ice cream base for at least 4 hours, or overnight for creamier texture.

5-Churn the ice cream: Pour chilled mixture into ice cream maker, churn according to manufacturer’s instructions (typically 15-20 minutes) until soft-serve consistency.

6-Add swirls (optional): Layer churned ice cream with warm chocolate or caramel sauce in container, then gently swirl with a knife to create ribbons.

7-Freeze until firm: Transfer to airtight container, press plastic wrap directly onto surface, seal, and freeze until firm, about 4-6 hours.
