This may be my new favorite. But then again, my list of favorites is growing as rapidly as the ice cream varieties in the freezer! This one......with the peanut butter swirling through this ice cream is decadent yet light and has a nougat-like texture. It tastes so good in this ice cream and the little bits of brownie pieces just add to the unbeatable flavor combination. The ice cream itself has a richness about it, but you don't need a lot of it to satisfy any sweet tooth or ice cream craving. This is definitely a winner and easy to make because you don't need an ice cream machine. Don't get me wrong - I LOVE my ice cream machine and when I have the time and desire to go through the additional steps, it makes mouth watering ice cream concoctions. But these "all over the internet no churn ice cream recipes" are a great alternative. (and no one else will know you didn't spend hours making it!) I promise there are more ice cream recipes to share in the near future - I just need some current photos! If you knew what was coming you would be SO excited!!
But this is a great one in the meantime and was a big hit with all who tried it!
Peanut Butter Brownie Ice Cream
adapted from Bakerella2 c. heavy whipping cream
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 t. vanilla
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 1/2 c. small brownie pieces
chopped peanuts (4-5 T.) - optional
1 T. vodka (optional - the alcohol will help it not freeze quite so solid)
Chill mixing bowl and beater in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Warm the peanut butter in the microwave and stir about a third of the can of sweetened condensed milk.
Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Take about a third of the whipped cream and add it to the peanut butter mixture and set aside.
Fold together the remaining whipped cream and remainder of can of sweetened condensed milk. When blended, add the vanilla. Then fold in the brownie pieces.
Fill an ice cream container (I love these Tovolo containers) , alternating the cream mixture with the peanut butter mixture. (start with the whipped cream mixture and spoon about 1/3 into the container. The dollop the peanut butter mixture in top and swirl gently with a knife. Repeat the layers two more times). Top with chopped peanuts, if desired.
Cover with parchment paper (helps prevent ice crystals) before freezing. Will be ready in six hours
