My son and I were watching the Red Sox beat the Yankees last night, and the pitcher was literally dripping with sweat. I said to my son, “Wow, it must be hot back East!” We happen to live in San Diego, where the temperature is pretty mild all year long, and it’s currently only in the low 70’s. So my son’s response was, “No way Mom. It must be raining.” I guess it’s kind of difficult to comprehend that it’s already sweltering in places like Boston and NYC and Atlanta and Dallas… when we’re still feeling a slight chill in the air. So for all of you experiencing that icky, HOT weather already, I made some Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream. You’re welcome.
Ingredients needed for Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream:
This is such a super simple ice cream recipe- only the ingredients you see here are involved. You’ll need milk, cream, vanilla, peanut butter, sugar and peanut butter cups. There are no eggs in the recipe… which means no heating up and no custard-making and no waiting for the mixture to chill before you process it in your ice cream maker. You have an ice cream maker, right??
If you’re a fan of peanut butter and chocolate together, you’re mostly likely a big fan of peanut butter cups. And if you’re a fan of peanut butter cups, I’m sure you’ll agree with me that they are really, really awesome when they’re fresh out of the freezer.
So it’s really a no-brainer to put them in ice cream, where you can eat a piece of frozen peanut butter cup in every bite. Yep. This is an easy ice cream recipe to make because you just mix the base ingredients together and you can put it in your ice cream machine right away. You don’t have to wait for it to chill overnight. Immediate gratification!
When I made this for the first time, I had a bite, or two, or more likely about 36. It was worth every calorie. It was worth every peanut buttery, slightly salty and chocolatey chunky bite. It was worth the extra miles I had to run at the gym and the salad I ate for lunch. I suggest you make it, especially if you’re in one of those HOT places right now, or if you’re a Red Sox fan (because I like you), or if you’re just craving chocolate-peanut butter things. And just for the record, I like Yankee’s fans too (the nice ones) 🙂
