- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 cup whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped peanut butter cups (I used Reeses)
In a large mixing bowl, whisk peanut butter and sugar until smooth. Add the milk and mix on low speed until sugar dissolves.
Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla. Turn on your ice cream maker. Pour mixture into the frozen bowl, and let churn until thickened, about 25 to 35 minutes.
About 5 minutes before the end of churn-time, pour in the chocolate peanut butter cups through the topping chute. Allow the ice cream to continue churning until it reaches a soft-serve consistency (do not over-churn).
Transfer ice cream to an airtight container, and place in freezer for 2 hours (or eat right out of the machine, like me!).
