Ingredients :
2 cups (480ml) heavy cream, 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, A pinch of salt, 4 large egg yolks, 1/2 cup (120g) peanut butter (creamy or crunchy), 1/2 cup (120ml) chocolate fudge sauce, 1/2 cup (60g) mini peanut butter cups, chopped into small pieces
Directions :
1. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm (but not boiling). 2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Gradually pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly (this is called tempering). 3. Return to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). 4. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove curdled egg bits. Stir in the vanilla extract and cool. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. 5. Pour the cooled base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (about 20-25 minutes). 6. Add chopped mini peanut butter cups during the last few minutes of churning. 7. Transfer the ice cream to a mixing bowl or storage container and gently swirl in the peanut butter and chocolate fudge sauce. 8. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up. 9. Serve in bowls or cones and enjoy!
