Peanut Butter Chunk Ice Cream Recipes

HOMEMADE PEANUT BUTTER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla extract in an ice cream maker. Stir until sugar dissolves. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions until it reaches soft-serve consistency, adding peanut butter cups halfway through freezing cycle.
• Transfer ice cream to a one- or two-quart lidded plastic container; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, ice cream should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.

PEANUT BUTTER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a small pot, simmer heavy cream, milk, sugar and salt until sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly whisk about a third of the hot cream into the yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream.
• Return pot to medium-low heat and gently cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer).
• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Whisk in peanut butter and vanilla extract. Cool mixture to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Serve directly from the machine for soft serve, or store in freezer until needed.

20-SECOND PEANUT BUTTER CHUNK ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a food processor, add the almond milk followed by frozen bananas and two tablespoons of the crunchy peanut butter. Blend until smooth. Add remaining 3 tablespoons peanut butter and pulse once or twice to incorporate. Do not overblend.
• Transfer ice cream to a loaf pan and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until hardened, at least 8 hours, or overnight. Alternatively, for a soft-serve consistency, serve immediately.
• ALTERNATIVE FLAVORS:.
• MIXED BERRY: Omit peanut butter and add 2 cups mixed frozen berries.
• STRAWBERRY: Omit peanut butter and add 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries at the initial blending. When smooth, 1 cup chopped frozen strawberries at the end, pulsing just until incorporated. Do not overblend.
• CHOCOLATE MINT: Omit peanut butter and add 2-3 drops mint extract (or more to taste) at the initial blending. When smooth, add a few drops of green food coloring to reach desired color (optional), blending until color is well-distributed. Add 3 1/2 ounces roughly chopped semi-sweet chocolate, pulsing just until incorporated. Do not overblend.
• NUTELLA: Omit peanut butter and add 5 tablespoons Nutella at initial blending. When smooth, add 3 tablespoons Nutella and pulse just until incorporated. Do not overblend.
