If you love peanuts or peanut butter, this recipe is for you! It contains a lot of peanuts and you can make it nice and crunchy. Maybe you want another variant? Peanut butter ice cream with white chocolate or marshmallows? Everything is possible.
Ingredients
- 240ml whole milk
- 150 grams of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 225 grams peanut butter with pieces
- 475ml whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped unsalted peanuts
Preparation
You can make about 840ml peanut butter ice cream with these ingredients.
Put the milk, sugar and vanilla extract in a saucepan over low heat and heat it. Then put the mixture aside and let it cool.
Beat the cold milk and the peanut butter together until well mixed and then add the whipped cream, this you beat together.
For the next step you will need an ice cream maker. Don’t have these? Don’t worry, it is also possible without an ice machine.
With ice machine
All you have to do is pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Without ice cream maker
Make sure the ingredients are cold. Pour the mixture into a freezer container that you can stir well in later. Cover the box tightly with plastic foil or baking paper, so that the ice cream can freeze evenly. Make sure you have a tight-fitting lid for the box and place the box in the coldest part of the freezer. After an hour, scrape the frozen ice off the edges and beat until smooth. Then cover the box and put it back in the freezer for an hour. Repeat this at least 1 or 2 times until the ice has frozen evenly and smoothly. Then you cover the ice and let it freeze completely.
Add the peanuts when the ice is almost frozen, so you should check regularly if the ice in the box is almost frozen. How many peanuts you add is entirely up to you. The more peanuts, the crunchier the ice cream will be.
