Time 1h5m

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup creamy peanut butter, adjust to taste
4 large egg yolks
1 cup chopped peanut butter cup

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.

  • 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.
