Challenge 2014 - Week Four - Peanut Butter Cup Icecream

Yup, we made ice cream! Though this time it was mum and I slaving away in the kitchen. But really, what a better way to spend the last few horribly hot days?!?!

Anyway, we used mums new fandangled ice cream maker!



Mum was so excited about getting to use her new toy, that we completely forgot to take photos of our adventure... My bad!

Anyway, mum didn't read the recipe before she went shopping, so she came home with double cream, and natural peanut butter (we ended up having to buy normal peanut butter and then used that instead). I would advise against these, it makes the ice cream so thick and sickly sweet. 

Makes about 6 cups (twelve ½-cup servings)

1 cup good quality peanut butter (not natural)
²∕³ cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
2 cups heavy cream (Pouring cream)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup chopped chocolate peanut butter cup candies 
(about 15 miniature peanut butter cups)

1. In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer on low speed 
to combine the peanut butter and sugar until smooth. 
Add the milk and mix on low speed until the sugar is 
dissolved, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream 
and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, or 
overnight. 

2. Turn on the Cuisinart® ice cream maker; pour the mixture 
into freezer bowl and let mix until thickened, about 15 to 
20 minutes. Five minutes before mixing is completed, 
add the chopped candy through the top and let mix in 
completely. The ice cream will have a soft, creamy 
texture. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the ice 
cream to an airtight container and place in freezer for 
about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes 
before serving.
