Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups heavy cream Essential for the creamy texture.
  • 1 cup whole milk Lightens the heavy cream.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar Balances flavor and sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract Adds warmth and aromatic flavor.
  • a pinch salt Enhances sweetness and flavors.
  • 4 large egg yolks Creates a rich custard base.

Mix-ins

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter Can be creamy or crunchy.
  • 1/2 cup chocolate fudge sauce Creates magical swirls.
  • 1/2 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped Adds texture and flavor.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium, stirring gently until sugar dissolves. Do not allow it to boil.
  • Whisk egg yolks in a separate bowl until smooth.
  • Gradually pour the warm cream mixture into the yolks, whisking continuously to temper the eggs.
  • Return the tempered mixture to the saucepan and cook on medium heat, stirring until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove lumps. Stir in vanilla and cool in the fridge for about 4 hours or overnight.

Churning and Freezing

  • Pour the chilled ice cream base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, around 20 to 25 minutes. Add chopped mini peanut butter cups in the last few minutes.
  • Transfer churned ice cream to a container. Gently swirl in peanut butter and chocolate fudge sauce.
  • Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Serving

  • Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy.

Notes

Chill your ingredients for smoother texture. Avoid boiling the cream mixture. Customize mix-ins to personal taste. Let the base chill overnight for best results. Serve with warm chocolate cake or pie for contrast.
