Ingredients

Peanut Butter Ice Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup half & half
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (like PB & Co's Smooth Operator)
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips

Chocolate PB Swirl

  • 1/4 cup chocolate peanut butter (like PB & Co's Dark Chocolate Dreams)
  • 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp butter

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together heavy cream, half & half, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Melt the peanut butter in 30-second increments in the microwave, until melty. Whisk the melted peanut butter into the liquid mixture. Add in peanut butter chips and milk chocolate chips, and stir.
  • Pour into your ice cream maker, and churn for about 20 minutes, or until thick and creamy.
  • While the ice cream is churning, mix the chocolate peanut butter, milk chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla in a microwave safe bowl. Melt in 30-second increments, until the mixture is smooth, stirring after each hit in the microwave (it only takes about 60-90 seconds, depending upon your microwave). Set aside.
  • Once your ice cream is ready, pour 1/3 of the ice cream mixture in a freezer-safe container. Spread half of the chocolate peanut butter swirl over the ice cream. Layer 1/3 of the ice cream on top. Spread the remaining chocolate peanut butter swirl over the ice cream. Layer the final 1/3 of ice cream over the top (when scooped, the ice cream will have a nice chocolate swirl throughout).
  • If you like soft-serve ice cream, eat immediately. If you prefer a firmer cream, allow to freeze for at least 2-3 hours (when frozen, allow ice cream to sit out at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften).
  • Enjoy!
