Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Bought a Ice Cream maker from the Thrift Shop last weekend for US$6.00 and made my first ice cream today.

The ice cream maker taken apart. The container (top left) and the base (with the grey top) must be frozen.

Before the mixture is poured into the container, the blade is secured onto the base

The peanut butter ice cream

Ingredient List:

1 cup creamy peanut butter
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract


Instructions:

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and sugar with an electric mixer and beat until smooth.

Step 2: Add the milk and blend on low speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has been dissolved.

Step 3: Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla.

Step 4: Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Step 5: When ready, pour the ice cream base into your frozen ice cream maker bowl.

Step 6: Churn until the mixture thickened, about 15-20 minutes. If you are adding in candies or peanuts, add them in the last 5 minutes of mixing.

Step 7: Pour into a freezer safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours.

Step 8: Enjoy your ice cream topped with dark chocolate or milk chocolate ice cream toppings.
