Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream and whip using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy texture.
- In a separate bowl, blend sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until completely smooth and well incorporated.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, using a spatula to maintain the airiness of the cream while ensuring even distribution.
- If using, lightly fold in chopped peanuts to add extra crunch and texture to the ice cream base.
- Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight, allowing the ice cream to set completely and develop rich, creamy consistency.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother blending and better incorporation.
- When whipping cream, ensure your bowl and beaters are completely clean and cold for maximum volume.
- For an extra indulgent version, drizzle some melted chocolate or caramel between layers before freezing.
- If you want a softer texture, add a tablespoon of vodka to the mixture, which helps prevent ice crystals.
- For a more intense peanut butter flavor, use a high-quality, creamy peanut butter without added oils.
- Store the ice cream in an airtight container to maintain its creamy texture and prevent freezer burn.
- For a fun twist, mix in some chocolate chips or crushed peanut butter cups before the final freeze.
- Allow the ice cream to soften for a few minutes before serving to achieve the perfect scoopable consistency.
