Time 3h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

cooking spray
2 cups white sugar
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup butter, melted
4 eggs
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ gallon vanilla ice cream with fudge and caramel swirls
1 cup caramel ice cream topping
1 (13 ounce) package miniature peanut butter cups (such as Reese's® Minis)
2 cups fudge ice cream topping
2 cups prepared chocolate buttercream frosting, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray at 9x13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Combine sugar, flour, butter, eggs, walnuts, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl, stirring well as each ingredient is added, until smooth batter forms. Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven until top is dry and edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Remove ice cream from freezer to defrost slightly, about 10 minutes. Spread caramel topping over cooled brownies using a rubber spatula. Spread a single layer of ice cream over caramel topping. Scatter 1/2 of the peanut butter cups evenly and press into ice cream layer. Place cake in freezer until ice cream layer is hardened, at least 1 hour.
  • Remove baking dish from freezer. Spread an even layer of fudge topping over cake. Cover with waxed paper and return to freezer until hardened, about at least 1 hour.
  • Frost cake with chocolate frosting and top with remaining peanut butter cups.

Time 5m

Yield 1 1/3 cup

Number Of Ingredients 3

2/3 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup light corn syrup

Steps:

  • Add evaporated milk to peanut butter, a small amount at a time, blending until smooth.
  • Stir in corn syrup.
  • Use for sundaes, drizzle on cake, etc.

Tips:

  • Chill before churning: Make sure your ice cream base is chilled before churning. This will help the ice cream freeze more evenly and smoothly.
  • Use a good ice cream maker: Not all ice cream makers are created equal. If you're serious about making ice cream, invest in a good quality machine that will produce consistent results.
  • Don't over-churn: Once the ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, stop churning. Over-churning can make the ice cream grainy.
  • Add mix-ins after churning: If you want to add mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, do so after the ice cream has been churned. This will help prevent the mix-ins from freezing solid.
  • Freeze for at least 4 hours: After churning, transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter ice cream is a classic flavor that is loved by people of all ages. It's easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients. With a little patience, you can enjoy delicious, creamy peanut butter ice cream that's sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
