Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium saucepan, combine milk, heavy cream, sugar, and cocoa powder. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly until sugar and cocoa powder are fully dissolved. (Approx. 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks with an electric mixer until they become thick and pale yellow. (Approx. 4 minutes)

03

Step

Gradually whisk about 1/2 cup of the warm cocoa mixture into the egg yolks to temper them, ensuring a smooth consistency.

04

Step

Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cocoa mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Be careful not to boil! (Approx. 5 minutes)

05

Step

Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted. Alternatively, melt chocolate over a double boiler.

06

Step

Stir the melted chocolate and vanilla extract into the cocoa mixture until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. (Approx. 2 hours)

07

Step

Once chilled, pour the chocolate mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.

08

Step

During the last few minutes of churning, drop spoonfuls of peanut butter into the ice cream maker. Use a knife or spatula to gently swirl the peanut butter throughout, creating ribbons of flavor. Alternatively, you can fold in peanut butter after churning.

09

Step

Transfer the finished ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully harden before serving.

For an even richer chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate chips.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this ice cream! Pour the chilled mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 30 minutes. Then, using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until smooth. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours, or until the ice cream reaches your desired consistency. Fold in peanut butter in the last step.
For a smoother ice cream, consider using an immersion blender to blend the chilled chocolate mixture before churning.
