Peanut butter ice cream

I talk a lot of about my favorite flavors; Chocolate, citrus, coconut, caramel and PEANUT BUTTER! I seriously can’t get enough of these 5 flavors and of course Ice cream is one of my favorite food groups so I am SO excited to share one of my favorite ice cream recipes with you guys. I was going to wait until a more Ice Cream “appropriate” month, like July… but when I realized it was National Peanut Butter day I had to go for it (and I make Ice Cream year round, maybe some of you do as well)

The BEST Peanut Butter Ice cream recipe you'll ever have!

This is a custard based recipe which means CREAMY!!!! My daughter loves it as much as I do and we love making this one together. In fact last time we made a double batch, she threw some of my berry Coulis on top and we called it PB&J ice cream. Personally I like it all by itself, but if I was going to add to it I’d rather have on top of my Chocolate Brownies with some Hot Fudge.

This custard based creamy peanut butter ice cream is perfect

    I have not found a peanut butter ice cream recipe that I like, but none of the recipes I’ve tried have used egg yolks so I’m wondering if this is the key! Your ice cream photos look especially creamy and nothing like the ones I’ve made… so I gotta try this recipe! Thank you!!!

    I am just getting into making homemade ice cream and I am wondering if you know what the difference is between heavy cream and heavy whipping cream? Are they interchangeable, or are each a distinct product that are used for different purposes?

      whipping cream is 30 percent fat, while heavy cream or heavy whipping cream contain 36 percent fat or more, so heavy and heavy whipping is the same, only whipping cream is less.

    While straining the Peanut Butter, I found it nearly impossible as it was so thick. Stirring in the cream just made it worse as the two solutions would not mix. Was it the custard stage that I went wrong? Did I wait too long to stir in the peanut butter?

      huh… I haven’t had that happen before, but yes it sounds like it was cooked too long and got too thick. the only other thing I could think of is the style of peanut butter – I use skippy or Jif, – they blend beautifully.

    How long does it typically take the custard to thicken on the stove? How many minutes? I’ve been whisking for a good 15 minutes and it hasn’t thickened… 🤷‍♀️

      it usually takes about 15 mins – you could raise the heat a little to make it go faster just don’t stop stirring and let it curdle.

    Is there anything that can be used to replace heavy cream

      you need the fat of the cream for the proper crystallization that creates ice cream. So no.
