Equipment
- mixing bowl
- whisk
- ice cream maker
- freezer-safe container
- spatula
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup peanut butter cup candies, chopped
- 0.5 cup chocolate fudge sauce
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
- Refrigerate the mixture for 1–2 hours to chill for better texture and faster churning.
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer instructions until it reaches soft-serve consistency.
- Add chopped peanut butter cup candies during the final minutes of churning to distribute evenly.
- Transfer half of the ice cream to a container, drizzle half of the fudge sauce, then repeat with remaining ice cream and fudge.
- Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the fudge into the ice cream without overmixing.
- Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm before serving.
Notes
Chill the ice cream base before churning for a smoother texture. Avoid over-churning to prevent icy consistency. Gently swirl the fudge to keep defined ribbons. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping. Store in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
