pb cup ice cream

Someone declared July as National Ice Cream Month.

I would like to thank that someone, whoever she/he might have been.

Thank you, dear someone, for thinking of us, and our obsession with this cold and creamy deliciousness. Much appreciated!

I’m sure it was some big corporation, but let it be – after all, it’s ice cream not tobacco. Smile

The Peanut Butter Ice Cream that you see here was actually a dare. The dare was that I could not make an ice cream taste as good as the Reese’s Cup ice cream. 

Are you kidding me? Dad!?! We’re supposed to be in this together… “ice cream freaks” is what they dubbed us years ago… Sheeesh…

I make ice cream every other day, and Peanut Butter Cups every other week. I can do this, man.

This recipe makes 1 (one) quart of Peanut Butter Ice Cream. I then made one batch Peanut Butter Cups in my mini muffin pan, and they were aaaaamazing! Makes about 36 mini peanut butter cups. 

ENJOY!

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate , melted (only if making the "chocolate peanut butter cup")

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of your electric mixer combine peanut butter and sugar and beat until smooth.
  2. Add in the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla; mix until well combined.
  3. Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and churn for 30 minutes.
  4. At this point you can either transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze it, or read on for directions on how to make those peanut butter cups.
  5. Line a 12-cup mini muffin pan with paper liners.
  6. Meanwhile, place semisweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt the chocolate.
  7. Dividing evenly, use a spoon to layer half of the semi-sweet chocolate into liners.
  8. Place the muffin pan in the freezer and freeze for 15 minutes or until firm.
  9. Spoon in the ice cream over the chocolate layer and put it back in the freezer for another 15 minutes, or until frozen.
  10. Cover the cups with another layer of chocolate and back in the freezer until frozen solid; about 30 minutes to one hour.

  3. Is it possible for something to be stupid good? Because this looks stupid, stupid good. Like “I wanna make out with it and possibly get my tongue frozen to it” good. Unbelievably so, in fact! 🙂

  5. Just made these – but in regular cupcake size. It made 12. And I added some chocolate shavings I had left over (what?) into the PB ice cream. Yum! I hope the bigger size isn’t too annoying to eat…Thanks for the recipe!!

  9. My 2.5 year old was previously anaphylactic to peanuts. This month his blood test came back negative for the allergy(!!) and next month his doctor is doing an in office food challenge to make sure he really has outgrown the allergy. I’ve been searching for the perfect peanut butter recipe to use to celebrate once he passes the peanut challenge. I have finally found it – thank you! Looking forward to trying this.

  19. Congrats on Top 9! Kate, you are such an amazing baker/cook! You make ice cream every other day? You are so dedicated. I wish I was your child, seriously. Well, to be honest I gained “another” 5 lbs (HOW?!) in last month or so…and I can’t afford eating ice cream. I guess I have no self-control around sweets and food in general. This looks so delicious and I wish I can have some.
