Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Fresh creamy peanut butter (unsalted)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt substitute (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and whole milk. Use a whisk to blend them together until well combined.
Add the creamy peanut butter to the milk mixture. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and smooth.
Gradually add the granulated sugar to the peanut butter mixture. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Stir in the pure vanilla extract. If you desire a slight hint of salty flavor without sodium, add the optional salt substitute and mix well.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until it is cold.
Once the mixture is thoroughly chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours, or until it becomes firm enough to scoop.
Serve the low sodium creamy peanut ice cream in bowls or cones, garnished with unsalted peanuts if desired.
