I regret to say that you might be seeing an awful lot of ice cream in the next few weeks and months. Sorrynotsorry.
Who doesn’t love ice cream especially with the dog days approaching? Since making our second batch this week, we’ve decided we no longer will be buying overpriced ice cream from the grocery store – seriously, $5.99 for a 1/2 gallon?? What’s the point in spending all that extra money on ice cream that’s got who-knows-what on the ingredient list?
Our second batch this week was this peanut butter ice cream. Swoon!!
This particular ice cream recipe was incredibly easy to make! It wasn’t made with a custardy cooked eggs base, like most of our favorite ice cream recipes are, so Kyle decided to make it on his own. Fine by me!
To make this ice cream, you’ll simply puree all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender. The blender really works best for this and I really do love my Vitamix for blending large batches of ice cream, since it’s made to puree liquids. But the food processor will work too. Just make sure your food processor can hold at least 7 cups of liquid for this recipe.
After you’ve pureed the mixture, you’ll chill the mixture for a few hours and then pour it into the ice cream maker to make the ice cream.
The only “issue” Kyle had with this recipe was that he mistook purée for mix and mixed the mixture in the KitchenAid mixer instead of the food processor. And actually, I think we may have benefited from his mistake!!
The ice cream was full of little peanut butter bits throughout the whole batch and I’m not sure that would have been the case had he puréed the mixture. It was wonderful!!
We made a double batch of this recipe this time and although it looked like mistake #2 of the evening after we poured the mixture into the ice cream maker (would the liquid overflow the ice cream maker??), it turned out just fine and no spillage occurred.
So if you’ve been on the fence about purchasing an ice cream maker, get off the fence and go treat yourself to it! You won’t regret it for a second!!
