1. Step 1

   Begin by gently heating a saucepan over low flame, where you will blend whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, and cocoa powder.

2. Step 2

   Stir this delightful mixture continuously for about five minutes, ensuring the sugar and cocoa dissolve completely.

   In a separate bowl, take your electric mixer and beat the egg yolks until they transform into a thick, pale yellow hue, which should take around four minutes.

4. Step 4

   Gradually introduce half a cup of the warm cocoa mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.

5. Step 5

   Now, pour this egg yolk concoction back into the saucepan with the cocoa mixture.

6. Step 6

   Keep the heat low and stir continuously until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, which should take another five minutes.

7. Step 7

   Once thickened, transfer this luscious mixture to a bowl and allow it to cool.

8. Step 8

   Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, place your semisweet chocolate chips.

    Stir the melted chocolate and a splash of vanilla extract into the cooled cocoa mixture, blending until fully combined.

11. Step 11

    When it’s time to churn, pour the chilled chocolate mixture into your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

13. Step 13

    As the ice cream begins to firm up, drop in spoonfuls of creamy peanut butter.

14. Step 14

    Use a knife to gently swirl the peanut butter through the ice cream, creating beautiful ribbons of flavor throughout.
