Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- ½ cup granulated sugar (for caramel sauce)
- 3 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup heavy cream (for caramel sauce)
- Pinch of salt (for caramel sauce)
- 1 cup chopped chocolate-covered peanuts or peanut butter cups
- ½ cup salted peanuts (roughly chopped)
Instructions
- Make the Peanut Butter Swirl: Mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth. Chill until ready to swirl into the ice cream.
- Prepare the Caramel Sauce: In a saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns golden. Stir in butter until smooth. Slowly add heavy cream and whisk until combined. Add a pinch of salt, then cool.
- Make the Ice Cream Base: In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt until sugar dissolves. Chill for 2–3 hours in the refrigerator.
- Churn & Add the Mix-Ins: Pour chilled base into an ice cream maker and churn until soft-serve consistency. Gently fold in peanut butter swirl, caramel sauce, and crunchy peanuts with chocolate pieces.
- Freeze & Serve: Transfer to a container and freeze 4–6 hours until scoopable. Drizzle with extra caramel and sprinkle with more crunch before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use natural peanut butter.
- Ensure the caramel sauce is completely cooled before mixing it into the ice cream base.
- Feel free to customize the crunch with your favorite mix-ins.
