Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Smooth peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar over medium heat.
Stir the mixture frequently until the sugar has dissolved completely, but ensure it does not come to a boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the smooth peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, ensuring everything is well combined.
Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically for about 20-25 minutes or until it reaches the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for 2-3 hours to allow it to firm up for a scoopable consistency.
Serve the peanut butter ice cream in bowls or cones and enjoy!
