The best ice-cream EVER!

I'm not even going to attempt to be modest about this one - this is the best ice-cream EVER!  Cameron gave it a ten out of ten which is pretty rare - he can be a tough judge when it comes to food, especially if it involves fruit.

 Peanut butter ice-cream


Peanut butter ice-cream was on my Summer to-make list this year and I'm so glad I didn't skip it.  
The ice-cream is easy to make and has few ingredients (is egg free) and you don't need an ice-cream maker to churn it.  

 We accompanied the peanut butter ice-cream with another item from my list - raspberry syrup - making it a kind of peanut butter and jelly dessert, if you will.
Next time I make it I think I might try to ripple the syrup right into the ice-cream mixture rather than pouring it on top.

Peanut Butter Ice-cream

 3/4 cup caster sugar
1 cup of milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup peanut butter
2 cups of double cream
Chocolate chips (optional - Cameron likes white chocolate chips with it)

 Stir the sugar and vanilla into the milk until dissolved.  Whisk in the peanut butter, mixing until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the double cream.
Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter liquid.  Add the chocolate chips, if using.
Pour into a freezer-friendly container and place in the freezer until hardened.

 Make peanut butter ice-cream today - you will not regret it!

  1. It sounds wonderful!

    I'm missing having a fridge freezer atm to make icecream, although I may just cave and make it with the chest freezer (although it will mean repeatedly shifting stuff to do it, plus the freezer is in the garage *sigh*)

    I'm on a bit of a peanut butter thing atm - I made peanut butter cookies yesterday using my lovely new measuring cups (thank you so much!) which I still need to blog about (the cups, not the cookies as they were eaten pretty much straight away).

    Peanut butter icecream would be just the thing I could do with to cheer me up a bit :0)

    1. I'm glad the cups have arrived, Nikki.
      I'm on a peanut butter thing at the moment, too. It's funny, hated it as a child.

      I hope you manage to make some ice-cream!
