Homemade ice cream recipes: Peanut Butter Ice Cream. Peanut Butter, from its humble beginnings (World War II created a meat shortage that made the creamy spread an American icon) has transcended from a slave food to a beloved staple. And why would we think that might be? It's simply so very, very good. So imagine the excitement of ice cream (yummo!) PLUS peanut butter (yummo!) - genius.
Be warned, it's not easy to stop once you start so perhaps double the measures to make sure there's enough to go 'round!
Ingredients
1 cup full cream milk
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Peanut Brittle crushed (optional)
In a medium bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer and beat until smooth.
Add the milk and blend on low speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has been dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla with a mixing spoon or a whisk.
Place mixture in refrigerator to chill overnight. Then add to your ice cream maker and follow manufacturer instructions.

I like to sprinkle with a little peanut brittle to really get things a little 'crazy' but that's of course optional - its still deliciously delicious without.
