This ice cream was the hands down favorite when we hosted an ice cream party a week ago. With 5 ice creams to choose from, everyone asked for the Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream first. If I had known how popular is was going to be, I would have made a double batch!

How to Make Peanut Butter Ice Cream With Chocolate

1. Chill: Chill a mixer bowl with the whip attachment and the heavy cream in the freezer for 10 minutes.
2. Make the Peanut Butter Base: While the cream is chilling, whisk the peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, salt in a small bowl. Chop the peanut butter cups into chunks.
3. Mix the Peanut Butter Ice Cream: Beat the cream in the chilled bowl until it holds its shape. Fold the peanut butter base and most of the chopped peanut butter cups into the cream, mixing by hand until you have a consistent color throughout.
4. Make the Fudge Swirls: Warm up the hot fudge sauce

   for a few seconds in the microwave just so that it flows easily.  Spoon the sauce into a small Ziploc bag. Clip the corner of the bag about 1/4” from the tip to make a small opening. Scoop about a third of ice cream into a loaf pan.  Squeeze the chocolate sauce over the ice cream in a random zigzag pattern.  Drag a chopstick through the ice cream to create swirls in the sauce.
5. Finish the Ice Cream: Repeat the layering of the ice cream and chocolate sauce swirls two more times up to the top of the loaf pan.  Top the ice cream with the rest of the peanut butter cups.
6. Freeze: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze for 8 hours.  Serve with more hot fudge sauce
