Recipe 2

8 servings

Ingredients:

1/4 cup sugar 3 eggs 1 cup whole milk 3/4 cup peanut butter 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk 1/2 cup half-and-half cream 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 12 miniature peanut butter cups, chopped

Directions:

In a medium bowl, beat the sugar and eggs with an electric mixer until thick, about 3 minutes. Set aside. Pour milk into a small saucepan, and bring to a simmer over low heat. Gradually drizzle the hot milk into the eggs while whisking vigorously. Then pour the whole mixture into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Do not boil.

Remove from heat, and whisk in peanut butter. Allow to cool slightly, then whisk in the sweetened condensed milk, half-and-half and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.

Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fold in peanut butter cups when mixture is still soft, then transfer to a container, and freeze until solid.

Recipe 3

Ingredients 1-1/8 cups good quality peanut butter (not natural) 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1-1/4 cups whole milk 2 cups heavy cream 1-1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1 cup chopped chocolate peanut butter cup candies

Instructions In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to combine the peanut butter and sugar until smooth.

Add the milk and mix on low speed until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla.

Turn the machine on; pour the mixture into freezer bowl, and let mix until thickened, about 25 to 35 minutes.

Five minutes before mixing is completed, add the chopped candy through the top and let mix in completely.

The ice cream will have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.
