- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Smooth peanut butter

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the peanut butter and granulated sugar over medium heat until smooth and the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Gradually add the cocoa powder, whisking until fully incorporated.
Pour in the heavy cream and whole milk, whisking constantly to ensure no lumps form.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the chocolate chips.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
