Day 2 of the Virtual Ice Cream Social, and today I bring you sweetest treat of all. Peanut butter ice cream with chopped mini peanut butter cups. If you are a peanut butter lover I think you are going to love this ice cream recipe. Once again, this is an eggless recipe that you can make right away as long as your ice cream attachment is frozen!
As a kid I wasn’t a fan of fancy ice creams like this one. I loved me some plain old vanilla ice cream. As I began to grow older I started becoming adventurous with my ice cream flavors. And, well now… I make all sorts of concoctions in my kitchen. I got the idea for this recipe a few months back when I picked up a bogo of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. They didn’t have my favorite chocolate chip cookie dough, so I opted for a peanut butter ice cream with peanut butter cups. It was amazing but oh-so-sweet. 1 scoop was a perfect serving size. My adapted version is just the same… a few scoops and it will put you over the top!

Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1-1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup mini peanut butter cups chopped
Instructions
- Using a KitchenAid Stand Mixer, cream peanut butter sugar together until smooth (about one minute on medium speed). Turn the mixer off then add the whole milk. Mix on low until most of the liquid has mixed with the peanut butter mixture--mix for a good 2-3 minutes until it's a thinned out peanut butter consistency. Add the heavy cream and mix for 30 seconds or until incorporated.
- Pour ice cream mixture into ice cream machine and churn according to manufacturers directions. *I use the KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment and this batch churned for 25 minutes. The ice cream will be the consistency of soft serve. Carefully, fold in chopped peanut butter cups, store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
delicious Dessert !
It’s my favorite! Love this!
Katie,
As you have told about Kitchenaid ice cream attachment. Can I buy this ice cream maker attachment in India?
Is kitchenaid available in India?? What about KitchenAid website In India?
Thanks Roze–I’m not sure if it’s available in India! Sorry–I wish I could be of more assistance!
The kitchen aide attachment has a 2 at capacity. Flavia S you could try to make 1/2 or 3/4 of the recipe in your Cuisinart.
Do you know how many quarts this recipe makes? I have a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker and it makes up to 1.5 quarts. The simple ice cream recipes in their booklet call for 1 cup milk and 2 cup cream. I’m looking for a simple peanut butter ice cream recipe to make my next batch (I’ve done vanilla and chocolate a few times already and I’m looking to explore). Thanks.
Hi Flavia, I do not know off the top of my head. It’s been a while since I’ve made this ice cream. I use the KitchenAid Ice Cream Bowl attachments and am unfamiliar with the Cuisinart.
Oh my! Peanut butter ice cream is my favorite! Love this!
SO jealous of your ice cream maker! If I had one, this ice cream would be first on my list. My obsession with Reeses is only slightly out of control 😉
Hi Rachel, Not sure if you already entered… but I’m giving away a KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment!
Would love to enter, gotta win (or buy, haha) myself a KitchenAid Mixer first!
Oh my goodness — Reece’s ice cream is my total weakness!!! I may have to try it homemade. Sounds delicious!
