Peanut Butter Ice Cream is a delectable frozen dessert that brings together the irresistible taste of peanut butter with the creamy goodness of ice cream. It’s a popular treat enjoyed by many for its rich and nutty flavor profile. The base of this ice cream typically consists of high-quality peanut butter, which adds a smooth and creamy texture along with a distinct nuttiness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and sugar until well combined and smooth.
- Add the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the peanut butter mixture. Whisk until everything is thoroughly mixed and the sugar has dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, cover with a lid or plastic wrap directly touching the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming, and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until firm.
- Once the ice cream is fully frozen, scoop and enjoy your creamy Peanut Butter Ice Cream!
Notes
Feel free to customize this recipe by adding mix-ins like chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, or swirls of chocolate or caramel sauce during the churning process for extra flavor and texture. Enjoy!
