No-Churn Peanut Butter Lover's Ice Cream

There are few things I love in the world more than peanut butter. So I thought- why not put it into ice cream?! It's a creamy, no-churn peanut butter ice cream base that's loaded with nutter butter cookie chunks and swirled even more peanut butter. So much peanut buttery goodness packed into one ice cream!

INGREDIENTS FOR NO-CHURN PEANUT BUTTER LOVERS ICE CREAM

To make this rich and creamy peanut butter ice cream, start by gathering your ingredients. Here's what you'll need: 

• Heavy whipping cream

• Sweetened condensed milk

• Vanilla extract

• Peanut butter

• Nutter Butter cookies

MAKING THE ICE CREAM

This ice cream might look complicated, but I promise you that it's super easy to whip up! Here's what you'll need to do.

Step 1: Whip the cold heavy whipping cream on medium speed just until stiff peaks form; about 2-3 minutes. Set the bowl aside. 

Step 2: In a separate bowl, warm the peanut butter for about 30 seconds until melted and thin. Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until combined. 

Step 3: Gently fold the whipped cream and peanut butter mixture together until totally combined. Fold in the chopped nutter butter cookies, reserving some for the top. 

Step 4: Pour ice cream mixture into a 9x9 or large loaf pan and spread into an even layer. 

Step 5: Heat the remaining peanut butter for about 20-30 seconds in the microwave until melty. Drop dollops of the peanut butter all over the top of the ice cream. Use a butter knife or chopstick to swirl the peanut butter dollops into the ice cream. Sprinkle on more chunks of nutter butter cookies, if desired.

Step 6: Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight. Enjoy!

WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT THIS ICE CREAM

♦ It comes together in no time! Since this ice cream recipe does not call for eggs or any fancy machines, it takes just minutes to throw together. You simply whip up the heavy cream, fold in all of the peanut buttery goodness, and freeze it! 

♦ You don't need an ice cream maker! One of my favorite things about no-churn ice cream is that you can literally make them whenever you want because you don't need to worry about pulling out any heavy or clunky ice cream makers! You just make the ice cream batter, throw it in the pan, then poop it into the freezer! 

♦ It's easily customizable! Want to use chunky peanut butter instead of smooth? Go ahead! Or maybe use a different peanut butter cookie? You can absolutely use whatever your preference is!
