Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream
Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream is easy to make and will have you falling in love with homemade ice cream!
Do you know what term I hate? Superfood. And I should totally love it because over on my blog, things are focused on being healthy, but I think it’s dumb. Unless we’re talking about a food that’s super delicious like PEANUT BUTTER should be a superfood! And also chocolate. And the combination should be, like, a super combo.
Peanut butter and chocolate are pretty much the tried and true dessert combo. The foodies of the world (myself included) keep pumping out pb&c recipes, and people keep loving them. Don’t mess with a good thing, right? I know that I’ve never for a second thought “I’m so over peanut butter and chocolate.”
Also, I’ve never for a second been over ice cream. It always has been and always will be my favorite, go-to dessert. I would take ice cream over a brownie or cake any day of the week. Especially with candy mixed in. Helllloooo fro yo addiction.
I used to be super intimidated by homemade ice cream, but I promise it truly is easy! And with one this delicious, creamy, and peanut butter-y, you will be making it forever and ever.
Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1 heaping cup peanut butter
