Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (Jif or Skippy recommended)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (optional, for depth)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar (if using), and salt until smooth.
  2. Stir in milk and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Gently whisk in the heavy cream. Do not overmix to keep the base light.
  4. Cover and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 2–4 hours or overnight.
  5. Pour chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 20–25 minutes.
  6. Transfer churned ice cream to a container. Fold in any desired mix-ins.
  7. Freeze for 3–4 hours until firm before serving.

Notes

  • For a no-churn version, whip the cream separately to soft peaks and fold into the sweetened peanut butter mixture, then freeze in a loaf pan.
  • Use crunchy peanut butter or swirl in jam or fudge for variations.
  • Substitute full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
  • Use gluten-free ingredients for a gluten-free dessert.
