Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream.
Step 1
Start by heating the milk in a saucepan over medium heat. You want it to steam gently, so keep an eye on it for about 4 minutes—no boiling just yet!
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat together the egg yolks and sugar until they’re well combined and creamy. Now, slowly whisk in that warm milk, making sure everything is mixed together nicely. Return this mixture to the saucepan and continue cooking over medium heat.
Step 3
Next, stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract. Keep stirring for about 5 minutes until everything is thoroughly combined and you can smell that delicious peanut butter aroma filling your kitchen!
Step 4
Once your peanut butter mixture is ready, pour it into a large bowl and let it cool for about 15 minutes. Patience is key here!
Step 5
After it’s cooled, stir in the heavy whipping cream and the chopped peanut butter cups. This is where the magic happens!
Step 6
Now, pour the entire mixture into your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. In no time, you’ll have a luscious, creamy ice cream that’s perfect for scooping!
How to Serve
Serve this delightful ice cream in bowls or cones, topped with extra chopped peanut butter cups or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat!
How to Store
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. It’s best enjoyed within a week for optimal creaminess, but it can last for up to a month!
