Ingredients

For the ice cream

  • 1 ¾ cups whole milk
  • 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup smooth (or chunky) peanut butter

For the peanut butter pieces

  • ½ cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 ¼ cups sifted powdered sugar

Instructions

For the ice cream

  • Whisk together the milk, heavy cream, sugar, corn syrup, salt, and cornstarch.
    1 ¾ cups whole milk, 1 ¼ cups heavy cream, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons light corn syrup, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
  • Place over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture starts to steam. Continue to whisk and bring the mixture to a boil. When boiling throughout, remove from heat. Pass through a strainer if needed.
  • Whisk in vanilla extract and peanut butter.
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ¾ cup smooth (or chunky) peanut butter
  • Cool off slightly, 5-8 minutes.
  • Pour into an airtight container and chill for 8-10 hours. While chilling, prepare peanut butter pieces.

For the peanut butter pieces

  • In a bowl, combine the peanut butter and powdered sugar.
    ½ cup smooth peanut butter, 1 ¼ cups sifted powdered sugar
  • Using a fork or pastry cutter, combine the two until small ball-like pieces form. If the mixture is too wet, add more sugar.
  • Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

To assemble

  • To freeze, remove it from the refrigerator and pour it into the ice cream freezer. Follow the directions with your freezer; each one can vary. My KitchenAid stand mixer (affiliate link) with ice cream maker attachment (affiliate link) takes about 20-25 minutes to freeze fully.
  • When finished, fold in the prepared peanut butter pieces and ½ cup dry roasted peanuts.
  • Transfer to an airtight container and place in a deep freeze for an additional 4-6 hours until hardened.
