Crunchy Peanut Butter Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• In a small pot, simmer heavy cream, milk, sugar and salt until sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly whisk about a third of the hot cream into the yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream.
• Return pot to medium-low heat and gently cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer).
• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Whisk in peanut butter and vanilla extract. Cool mixture to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Serve directly from the machine for soft serve, or store in freezer until needed.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar until it softens. Slowly add milk and stir until sugar dissolves.
• Bring to a boil and cook until mixture reduces and thickens.
• Add peanut butter and mix thoroughly.
• Add peanuts and vanilla.
• Continue stirring until smooth.
• Serve warm over ice cream.

Steps:

• Combine the peanut butter and sugar until smooth.
• Add the milk.
• Blend on low speed until smooth and the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and the vanilla, only stirring as much as necessary.
• Follow your ice cream freezer instructions and process as directed.
• It's best to process for at least 8 hours, but it's still very tasty if you eat it right away--it will just be a little runny.
• I served this with dark chocolate ganache.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, mix together crushed graham crackers, 3/4 cup finely chopped peanuts, and sugar. Stir in melted butter or margarine. Press mixture into a 9 inch pie plate.
• Bake crust in preheated oven for 8 minutes. Chill.
• In a medium mixing bowl, mix ice cream and peanut butter together on medium-low speed until combined. Pour mixture into chilled crust. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped peanuts. Freeze for at least 6 hours. Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla extract in an ice cream maker. Stir until sugar dissolves. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions until it reaches soft-serve consistency, adding peanut butter cups halfway through freezing cycle.
• Transfer ice cream to a one- or two-quart lidded plastic container; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, ice cream should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.
