Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Low-fat milk
- 0.5 cup Powdered peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Natural peanut butter
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the low-fat milk and powdered peanut butter. Whisk until the powdered peanut butter is thoroughly dissolved.
Add granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt to the saucepan and mix well.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and natural peanut butter until fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool to room temperature.
Once the mixture is cooled, refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes.
Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-4 hours or until firm.
Scoop and serve the ice cream, optionally garnishing with a drizzle of melted peanut butter or some chopped peanuts for added texture.
