 Here's a rich recipe for Peanut Butter Explosion Ice Cream. It's packed with creamy peanut butter and chunks of chocolate and peanut butter cups!




Ingredients:

For the Peanut Butter Ice Cream Base:

  • 2 cups heavy cream

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • ¾ cup sugar

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (natural or commercial)

  • 4 large egg yolks

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

For the Add-ins:

  • 1 cup peanut butter cups (chopped)

  • ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)

For the Peanut Butter Swirl:

  • ½ cup peanut butter (slightly melted to make it easier to swirl)

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Peanut Butter Swirl

  1. Melt the Peanut Butter: In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter and powdered sugar. Microwave for about 20 seconds, or until slightly melted and easy to drizzle. Set it aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Ice Cream Base

  1. Heat the Cream and Milk: In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and half of the sugar (about ⅜ cup). Heat the mixture over medium heat until it’s hot but not boiling.

  2. Whisk the Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar until smooth and pale.

  3. Temper the eggs: While whisking, slowly pour a bit of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks. Gradually add more until about half of the cream is mixed in with the yolks.

  4. Cook the Custard: Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

  5. Add Peanut Butter and Vanilla: Remove from heat. Whisk in the peanut butter, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Step 3: Chill and Churn

  1. Chill the Mixture: Cover the peanut butter custard. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight, until cold.

  2. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled custard into your ice cream maker. Then, churn it according to the manufacturer's instructions (about 20-30 minutes).

Step 4: Add the Peanut Butter Swirl and Add-ins

  1. Layer the Ice Cream: Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, stop churning. In an airtight container, spoon in a layer of the ice cream, then drizzle some of the peanut butter swirl on top. Add some chopped peanut butter cups and chocolate chips.

  2. Repeat: Continue layering with more ice cream, peanut butter swirl, and candy until the container is full. Gently swirl with a spoon to create a marbled effect.

  3. Freeze: Place the ice cream in the freezer for 4-6 hours, or until firm.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Scoop and Serve: Once frozen, scoop out your Peanut Butter Explosion Ice Cream. Enjoy the creamy peanut butter base, loaded with candy chunks and swirls of peanut butter!

This treat is perfect for peanut butter lovers. It offers a rich, nutty dessert with added flavor from the candy!
