Last week it was so stinking hot and humid here in Western PA. The last thing I wanted to do was cook dinner and make my house even hotter. But I was willing to make some cool, refreshing homemade ice cream.
I was thrilled to come across this easy ice cream recipe. It requires no eggs and no cooking of the base. Just a few simple ingredients mixed together.
The result is ice cream that is the creamiest that I have made so far. It is so velvety smooth and packed with peanut butter flavor. I used a whole bag of the new mini Reeses unwrapped peanut butter cups. They are perfectly bite sized for ice cream.
Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream
Ingredients:
- 1 & 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 & 1/4 cups whole milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 & 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8oz bag unwrapped mini Reeses peanut butter cups
Directions:
- In your electric mixer bowl, combine peanut butter and sugar until smooth. Add milk and mix on low until sugar is completely dissolved, about two minutes.
- Mix in heavy cream and vanilla and beat until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the ice cream base in your ice cream maker. Let mix until ice cream thickens, about 20 – 30 minutes.
- Transfer ice cream to freezer proof container and hand mix in the peanut butter cups. Freeze until your ready to eat.
