06.16.09 Chocolate-peanut butter ice cream

Last night's sweet treat for the Bachelorette watch party was brownies (nothing special, from a box) with chocolate-peanut butter ice cream. The ice cream was rich and peanut-buttery, so delicious! It's another recipe from The Perfect Scoop, and there are still many more to try.

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Ingredients:

2 cups half-and-half

¼ cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder

½ cup sugar

pinch of salt

½ cup creamy peanut butter

Directions:

Whisk together the half-and-half, cocoa powder, sugar and salt in a large saucepan (very important to use a large pan to prevent boiling over - it gets very frothy). Heat the mixture, whisking frequently, until it comes to a full, rolling boil (it will start to foam up). Remove from the heat and whisk in the peanut butter, stirring until thoroughly blended.

Chill the mixture thoroughly, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
