Yummy Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the milk, cream and 1/2 cup of the sugar until steam appears and the milk is warm (about 175 degrees), about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the yolks and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl until combined and pale yellow.
• Whisk half the warm milk mixture into the beaten yolks, 1/2 cup at a time, until combined.
• Whisk the milk-yolk mixture into the warm milk in the saucepan.
• Set the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until steam appears, foam subsides, and the mixture is slightly thickened or an instant-read thermometer registers 180 to 185 degrees. (Do not boil the mixture, or the eggs will curdle.).
• Stir in peanut butter until well blended.
• Remove from heat pour into a medium size bowl.
• Fill a large bowl with ice water and place the medium size bowl over the ice bath; cool the custard to room temperature, stirring occasionally to help it cool.
• Cover and refrigerate until custard registers 40 degrees or lower, at least 3 hours or up to 24 hours.
• Add the vanilla extract and stir well.
• Freeze the custard following the manufacturer's instructions.
• Once custard begins to freeze add chopped peanut butter cups.
• Churn until the mixture resembles soft-serve ice cream.
• Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container, press plastic wrap flush against the surface, cover the container, and freeze the ice cream until firm, at least 2 hours. (The ice cream will keep for up to 2 days.).

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat the sugar and eggs with an electric mixer until thick, about 3 minutes. Set aside. Pour milk into a small saucepan, and bring to a simmer over low heat. Gradually drizzle the hot milk into the eggs while whisking vigorously. Then pour the whole mixture into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Do not boil.
• Remove from heat, and whisk in peanut butter. Allow to cool slightly, then whisk in the sweetened condensed milk, half-and-half and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
• Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fold in peanut butter cups when mixture is still soft, then transfer to a container, and freeze until solid.

Steps:

• Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat without boiling until steaming, about 4 minutes. Beat egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl. Slowly whisk hot milk into yolk mixture until well mixed; return mixture to saucepan and continue to cook on medium heat.
• Gradually stir peanut butter and vanilla extract into milk mixture until thoroughly combined, about 5 minutes. Pour peanut mixture into large bowl and cool for 15 minutes.
• Stir heavy cream and peanut butter cups into milk mixture, pour into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, over medium heat, whisk together the first four ingredients, milk to salt, and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Turn off heat.
• Using a small ladle or spoon, add about 2 tablespoons of the milk mixture into beaten egg, whisking egg mixture constantly as the hot liquid is added to prevent the egg from clumping up. I do this a dribble at a time.
• Whisking milk mixture constantly, pour egg mixture back into the pot in a very slow, thin stream. When egg is completely whisked in, turn heat back on, to medium.
• Whisking constantly, cook egg mixture for just two minutes, then turn off heat and remove pot from burner.
• Place the chocolate peanut butter in a small bowl and whisk about half the milk mixture in and combine well, then add this mixture back into the pot, combining all well. Scrape into a bowl (it will be thick), cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until completely cold (about 3 hours should do it).
• After mixture is cold, remove from fridge and whisk in the light cream. The peanut butter mixture will be very stiff so it's slow-going at first, but bear with it as it will all come together. Once the peanut butter mixture is completely combined with the light cream, whisk in the heavy cream and the vanilla.
• Prepare ice cream according to the directions that came with your ice cream maker; I let my Cuisinart ice cream maker run for about 25 minutes and that worked well.
• Freeze for several hours to harden. This mixture yields slightly less than one quart.
