Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Salted caramel sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and small bubbles start to form around the edges. Do not let the mixture boil.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 3

Slowly ladle 1/2 cup of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the yolks and prevent curdling.

Step 4

Pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan with the rest of the cream mixture. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the custard thickens and coats the back of the spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove any cooked egg bits.

Step 6

Cover the custard with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly against the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 7

Once the custard is thoroughly chilled, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe container.

Step 8

Gently fold in the peanut butter and salted caramel sauce, creating swirls in the ice cream. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain distinct ribbons of peanut butter and caramel.

Step 9

Sprinkle the teaspoon of sea salt evenly over the top, then cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 2-3 hours or until firm.

Step 10

Scoop and serve your Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Ice Cream straight from the freezer for a perfectly indulgent treat!
