Why We Love This Recipe

This peanut butter flavor ice cream is made without an ice cream maker or any fancy equipment. This creamy ice cream is loaded with chunks of Nutter Butter cookies and full of peanut butter flavor.

Ingredients

Heavy Whipping Cream, vanilla extract, sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter, nutter butter cookies
  • Heavy Whipping Cream. This should be cold. Do not take it out of the fridge until you are ready to use it.
  • Vanilla Extract. Pure vanilla extract is much better in this recipe.
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk. Don’t substitute with skim milk or whole milk as it doesn’t have the fat content sweetened condensed milk has.
  • Peanut Butter. You can use your favorite brand. I prefer creamy peanut butter.
  • Chopped Nutter Butter Cookies. Try using Homemade Nutter Butter Cookie Recipe.

The entire ingredient list can be found at the bottom of the page.

Variations and Additions

  • Add-ins – This is a delicious peanut butter ice cream but you can also add in ingredients. We have chopped peanut butter cups, M&M, and sprinkle.
  • Toppings – Feel free to add different toppings to this ice cream recipe. We love to serve with hot fudge with a cherry. The perfect hot fudge sundae.

Expert Tips

  • Smooth Peanut Butter – I recommend using smooth peanut butter in this recipe. Organic works best when available. Because of how smooth and runny it is compared to non-organic peanut butter. However, whatever you have will work great. I used non-organic in the photos.
  • Add Nuts – For some extra peanut butter texture, you can add ⅓ – ½ cup of chopped peanuts to the ice cream.
  • Toppings – I like to top my ice cream with a handful of crumbled cookie pieces. This adds a more aesthetic look to the ice cream.
  • Combining Ingredients – Whisking the peanut butter into the whipped cream gives this ice cream a rich, creamy peanut butter base.

Storage

When stored covered with plastic wrap, this ice will be good for up to 2 months. Make sure to store in a freezer safe container. Covering with plastic wrap prevents ice crystals appearing on the ice cream.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes no churn ice cream different from churned ice cream?

The biggest difference between these two ice creams is their method of preparation. No churn ice cream uses heavy cream that has been whipped into stiff peaks.
Then mixed with sweetened condensed milk to achieve a creamy, velvety texture. This method requires a lot less hands-on work than traditionally churned ice cream and tastes just as good!

Why is my ice cream so crumbly?

If your no churn ice cream is crumbly, it is likely because you have knocked too much air out of it. As soon as your heavy cream reaches stiff peaks.
You want to whisk in the sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter in as quickly as possible. The air is what gives your ice cream creaminess and volume once it freezes.

Why does my no churn ice cream use sweetened condensed milk?

Using sweetened condensed milk not only boosts the fat content of your ice cream base. But also acts as the primary sweetener. Because this sweetener comes in liquid form. There is no need to heat the ice cream mixture on the stove to dissolve any sugars. 

Can I Use Chunky Peanut Butter?

This homemade peanut butter ice cream is full of peanut buttery flavor. You can use chunky peanut butter if you prefer. We have even just added in chopped nuts to change the texture.
