Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Low sodium peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, and unsweetened cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth and any lumps of cocoa powder are dissolved.
Add the granulated sugar to the mixture and continue whisking until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Stir in the low sodium peanut butter and vanilla extract, mixing until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
In the last 5 minutes of churning, add the dark chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the ice cream.
Transfer the ice cream to a lidded, freezer-safe container and spread it evenly. Cover the top with a piece of plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze for at least 4 hours or until the ice cream is firm enough to scoop.
Serve the ice cream with your favorite low sodium toppings or enjoy it plain.
