Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Smooth peanut butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons Coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt over medium heat. Whisk the mixture constantly until the sugar dissolves, about 3-4 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Step 2
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the smooth peanut butter until the mixture is fully combined and creamy.
Step 3
Stir in the vanilla extract and transfer the mixture to a heat-safe bowl. Cool the mixture completely by chilling it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until it is cold to the touch.
Step 4
While the mixture chills, prepare the chocolate swirl. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring in between until smooth. Let the chocolate cool to room temperature but remain pourable.
Step 5
Once the ice cream base is fully chilled, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes 20-25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 6
As you transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, layer the ice cream and the cooled melted chocolate in alternating layers. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the chocolate through the ice cream, being careful not to over-mix.
Step 7
Cover the container tightly and freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Step 8
Scoop, serve, and enjoy this intensely densely peanut butter chocolate ice cream!
