Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwich
Okay, I’ve been holding onto this post for the right time to post it. Okay, maybe I just realized that I hadn’t posted it yet.
Oops.
We stopped for ice cream three weeks ago, and I tried their chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Or, is it called peanut butter chocolate ice cream? Both sound equally yummy. Believe it or not, that was the first time I tried that flavor of ice cream. I know. The peanut butter and chocolate freak. I was in heaven. My husband just rolled his eyes.
Since then, I’ve been back twice. I can’t get enough of it. My husband finally told me that he wasn’t fighting the crowd anymore for me to get my peanut butter and chocolate fix. So, I decided to make my own-in sandwich form.
I’ve been wanting to get an ice cream maker for some time now. I would see a ton of them at the store every time I went shopping and I would say to Emily, “I’m getting one of those.” I took my husband’s plea to not go to the ice cream shoppe as an excuse to finally make that purchase.
I have big plans for that baby. We are going to make lots of different flavors. Experimental flavors. Baahahaa, I will be the ice cream scientist!
Right now, I just am just starting with chocolate-and adding peanut butter to it. Oh, you thought there was just peanut butter in the cookies? You silly goose!
I think I got a couple of ice cream sandwiches made before eating the other cookies. I can’t blame it on the kids because I told you before that my kids don’t eat peanut butter. Hmmm. Maybe you had forgotten. Oh well. Remember, I work off all those calories afterwards, so I’m good.
What’s your most favorite ice cream flavor?
- 2 cups half-and-half
- ¼ cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- ½ cup sugar
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup smooth peanut butter
- Peanut Butter Chunks (optional)
- 3 tablespoons of peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon of confectioners sugar
- Whisk the half-and-half, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt in a large saucepan. Heat the mixture and whisk frequently, until a full boil. Remove from the heat and whisk in the peanut butter, stirring until thoroughly blended.
- Chill the mixture thoroughly, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Peanut Butter Chunks
- Mix peanut butter and sugar together and pinch little chunks on a liner until all is used. Freeze for half an hour. Mix with ice cream after ice cream is made.
