Serves: 1 quart
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup crushed Nutter Butter cookies
- 1/2 cup chocolate fudge sauce
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the peanut butter, stirring until the mixture becomes creamy and uniform in color, ensuring no peanut butter lumps remain.
- Crush Nutter Butter cookies into small, varied-sized pieces using a rolling pin or food processor. Reserve a few whole cookie pieces for garnish if desired.
- Fold the crushed Nutter Butter cookies into the cream mixture, distributing them evenly throughout the base.
- Prepare a freezer-safe container by lightly chilling it in the freezer for 5 minutes to help the ice cream set faster.
- Pour half the ice cream mixture into the chilled container, then drizzle chocolate fudge sauce in a swirling pattern across the surface.
- Add the remaining ice cream mixture, and create additional fudge swirls on top, using a knife or skewer to create marbled effects.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid, ensuring minimal air exposure.
- Freeze the ice cream for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to achieve optimal texture and flavor development.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Tips
- For the smoothest texture, ensure all ingredients are at similar temperatures before mixing.
- Use a chilled container to help the ice cream set faster and prevent ice crystallization.
- When crushing Nutter Butter cookies, aim for a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks for varied texture.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle additional fudge sauce when serving.
- To prevent freezer burn, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream before covering.
- If the ice cream becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes before scooping.
- For a gourmet touch, garnish with whole Nutter Butter cookies or a sprinkle of crushed cookies on top.
- Use high-quality chocolate fudge sauce for the most intense flavor.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute half-and-half for some of the heavy cream.
- Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the coldest part of your freezer for up to 2 weeks.
