Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
2cupsheavy cream
1cupwhole milk
3/4cupgranulated sugar
1tbspvanilla extract
1/2cupsweetened condensed milk
1pinchsalt
Fudge Swirl
1/2cupsemi-sweet chocolate chips
2tbspunsalted butter
2tbspheavy cream (for fudge)
2tbsplight corn syrup (or honey)
1cupmini peanut butter cups, chopped
Instructions
Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot (but not boiling) and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the sweetened condensed milk. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 2: In a small saucepan, combine chocolate chips, butter, heavy cream, and corn syrup. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth. Let the fudge cool slightly; it will thicken as it cools.
Step 3: Once the ice cream base is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (about 20-25 minutes) until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 4: In an airtight container, add a layer of churned ice cream. Drizzle some fudge swirl over the layer and sprinkle with chopped peanut butter cups. Repeat the layers until all the ice cream, fudge, and peanut butter cups are used. Use a spoon or knife to gently swirl the fudge through the ice cream without fully mixing.
Step 5: Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
Step 6: Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy every creamy, chocolatey, peanut buttery bite!
Notes
Keep your ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. It will stay good for about 2-3 weeks. Ensure your ice cream base is chilled thoroughly before churning for a creamier texture.
