Ingredients

Peanut Butter Ice Cream

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Fudge Swirl and Mix ins

  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips divided
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1-2 tsp coconut oil (can substitute canola)
  • 1-2 waffle cones

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients for the ice cream into a blender. Blend until smooth and thick.
  • Pour into a freezer safe container and freeze for 1 hour. Stir the ice cream at the 1 hour mark. Return to the freezer and repeat again in one hour.
  • While your ice cream is in the freezer, make the chocolate covered waffle cones.
  • Carefully break your waffle cones into larger bite sized pieces.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, measure out 1/3 cup milk chocolate chips and add the coconut oil to the bowl.
  • Microwave for 30 seconds and then stir. Microwave for an additional 15 seconds and then stir until everything is melted and combined.
  • Using a fork, dip and coat each waffle cone piece in chocolate and then place it on a silicone or parchment lined cookie sheet. Repeat until all of the waffle cone pieces are covered.
  • Place the waffle cone pieces in the fridge or freezer until set.
  • Make the fudge swirl by microwaving the heavy cream for 45 seconds. The cream should be boiling.
  • Add the remaining 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips to the cream and allow it to sit for 5 minutes.
  • Stir the chocolate chips into the heavy cream until creamy and smooth.
  • Allow the chocolate to cool on the counter until closer to room temperature. It should be very thick but still pourable.
  • When your ice cream is thicker, but can still be easily stirred, it is time to add the mix ins.
  • First, fold in the chocolate covered waffle cone pieces.
  • Next drizzle about half of the chocolate fudge onto the top of the ice cream and gently use a silicone spatula to press and fold the chocolate layer down into the ice cream.
  • Drizzle the top with the remaining chocolate and take a knife and move it back and forth through the ice cream from one side to the other to 'swirl' the chocolate.
  • Return to the freezer and freeze until solid.
