Ingredients You Need
This is a Philadelphia style Peanut Butter Ice Cream, so no eggs and no cooking involved.

How to make this Peanut Butter Ice Cream
Here’s where it all comes together—and it couldn’t be easier.
Just pour the peanut butter, sugar, heavy cream, whole milk, salt, and vanilla extract into the blender (a food processor works too).
Blend it up until everything’s smooth and creamy, then put the mixture into the refrigerator for a couple of hours to chill.
After that, pour it into the ice cream maker and let it do its thing—just follow the instructions your machine comes with.
Once it’s churned and looking like soft-serve, scoop it into a freezer-safe container.
And now the fun part—add in your favorite goodies or keep it simple. I love mixing in chopped peanut butter cups or a swirl of extra peanut butter.
Then, into the freezer it goes for about 8 hours or overnight so it can firm up.
And that’s it—homemade peanut butter ice cream, ready whenever the craving hits!
Enjoy 😊
