Cheat Day Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Recipes

CHOCOLATE & PEANUT BUTTER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• If you are using an electric ice cream maker with a removeable chamber, make sure your freezing chamber is already frozen according to the manufacturer's directions.
• Combine peanut butter,egg substitutes,vanilla, sugar,and cocoa powder until very smooth.
• Mix in cream and half& half and combine well.
• Put this mixture into a pitcher, cover, and chill in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
• When you are ready to make your ice cream, set your freezing chamber into your machine (or follow the instructions on your machine if you have a diffrent type of ice cream maker).
• Stir the ice cream batter before adding to your machine and freezing according to the directions on your ice cream maker.
• Once the machine is finished, place ice cream (which may still be a bit soft but should not be runny when done) into an airtight plastic freezer container and let harden to the consistency you prefer.
• Homemade ice cream does not keep for more than a couple of days, so eat this up soon.

CHEAT DAY CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• For Peanut Butter Patties.
• Stir together the peanut butter and sugar in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.
• Cover a dinner plate with plastic wrap.
• Using a spoon and your finger, scoop up small pieces of the peanut butter mixture, about ½ teaspoon each, and drop them onto the wrap covered dinner plate.
• It may help to refrigerate the peanut butter for a few minutes, to make it less sticky.
• Once you've used all of the mixture, put the plate in the freezer overnight.
• For Ice Cream Base.
• Whisk together the half-and-half, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt in a large saucepan.
• Heat the mixture, whisking frequently, until it comes to a full, rolling boil (it will start to foam up).
• 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.
• After you've removed the ice cream from the machine, stir in the peanut butter patties by hand.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, over medium heat, whisk together the first four ingredients, milk to salt, and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Turn off heat.
• Using a small ladle or spoon, add about 2 tablespoons of the milk mixture into beaten egg, whisking egg mixture constantly as the hot liquid is added to prevent the egg from clumping up. I do this a dribble at a time.
• Whisking milk mixture constantly, pour egg mixture back into the pot in a very slow, thin stream. When egg is completely whisked in, turn heat back on, to medium.
• Whisking constantly, cook egg mixture for just two minutes, then turn off heat and remove pot from burner.
• Place the chocolate peanut butter in a small bowl and whisk about half the milk mixture in and combine well, then add this mixture back into the pot, combining all well. Scrape into a bowl (it will be thick), cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until completely cold (about 3 hours should do it).
• After mixture is cold, remove from fridge and whisk in the light cream. The peanut butter mixture will be very stiff so it's slow-going at first, but bear with it as it will all come together. Once the peanut butter mixture is completely combined with the light cream, whisk in the heavy cream and the vanilla.
• Prepare ice cream according to the directions that came with your ice cream maker; I let my Cuisinart ice cream maker run for about 25 minutes and that worked well.
• Freeze for several hours to harden. This mixture yields slightly less than one quart.

• Just before adding to ice cream maker, stir a cup of ice cream mixture into peanut butter.
• Once mixed, stir into rest of ice cream mixture.
• Freeze in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
• I used all-natural peanut butter (100% ground peanuts).
