Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Then add the peanut butter and combine with the whisk.

Chop the Nutty Buddy bars into pieces. Reserve about 1/2 cup for topping, then fold the remaining pieces into the ice cream.

Pour half of the ice cream mixture into a 9-inch loaf pan. Add half of the fudge and swirl to make ribbons. Add the remaining ice cream mixture and fudge, then swirl again. Top with the reserved 1/2 cup of Nutty Buddy pieces. There is no need to chill between layers.

Freeze for at least 4 hours. Overnight is recommended.
