I can't stop thinking about this recipe. With only 5 ingredients it creates rich, mousse-like ice cream that is incredibly irresistible. Everything about this recipe is just fucking amazing. All you fellow peanut-butter lovers better give this a go!
The recipe is here, and pictures of the process are below:
Ingredients:
1 cup heavy whipping cream (8.8 oz., 250 g, or 240 ml)
2/3 cup chilled sweetened condensed milk (7 oz., 200 g)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 cup peanut butter (180 g)
50 g melted dark chocolate (optional)
Note: I used 1/2 cup natural chunky peanut butter and 1/4 cup creamy JIF. Also, make sure your condensed milk is refrigerated before using.
Directions:
In a deep bowl/stand mixer with whisk attachment, whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form (it will be light and fluffy and thick).
Add in the condensed milk and vanilla and whip until stiff peaks form (when you pull the whisk out of the mixture, stiff points form in the cream (see picture below)).
Then fold in the peanut butter with a spatula.
Tip: If using thick peanut butter like JIF, warm it in a microwave about 10-20 seconds until liquid before adding to the cream.
Add the melted chocolate on top and swirl in with a spatula.
Cover and freeze at least 4 hours before serving. If you're like me and can't wait it tastes like a nice semi-frozen mousse after 2 hours 😉.
Makes about 4 cups.
