What you’ll need to make no-churn peanut butter ice cream

  • heavy cream

  • granulated sugar

That’s it! Nothing special or unique. Just a few ingredients to make an epic dessert.

Let’s make some ice cream!

Start with unwrapping your mini peanut butter cups and chopping them up. Don’t worry about how finely they are chopped, a rough chop will do!

Grab a bowl and a hand mixer, or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk together the peanut butter, heavy creamy, vanilla extract and sugar until thick and medium peaks form. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the mixture, then sprinkle the chopped peanut butter cups over the top. Using a rubber spatula, fold into the peanut butter mixture until completely combined.

Pour the mixture into a freezer safe container and freeze! The hardest part is waiting the 12 hours necessary for the ice cream to harden. Super simple, resulting in the creamiest ice cream around.

Notes & tidbits

I found that freezing the peanut butter cups ahead of time made for much easier wrapper removal and chopping. Simply just throw the whole bag into the freezer after purchasing them so they are ready when you are.

I have not tried this ice cream with natural peanut butter, as the natural oil separation can change the consistency of the end results.
