Peanut butter chocolate ice cream is just so decadent. It's the type of dessert that you want to stop eating but you can't. You will find yourself spooning mouthful after mouthful, all the while hoping your stomach doesn't pop!

I feel like I should apologise in advance for my peanut butter choc ice cream. The dessert is so easy to make that it's dangerous. There isn't any fancy French Custard technique to master and no churning either!

Traditional Ice Cream V's My Cheat's Ice Cream

Traditional Ice Cream

A traditional ice cream base starts as a rich homemade egg custard or Creme Anglaise. A creme Anglaise is a thinner version of custard and includes lots of cream and sugar and many egg yolk to thicken the custard.

I do make traditional ice cream, but I really have to be in the mood. If you would like to make a more cheffy ice cream try my Licorice Ice-cream. This uses the French Creme Anglaise technique. Then the ice cream is churned until it's beautiful, light, and fluffy. If you are into Ice-cream making I would totally recommend a book by David Lebovitz called "The Perfect Scoop". He is an amazing chef and VERY fussy about his ice cream making skills.

Cheats Ice Cream

The other way to make ice cream is by cheating. This method combines cream and condensed milk as the base. Then built the recipe flavours up from there. The result is more like a semifreddo than a scoopable ice cream, but it's delicious and SO much quicker to make.

Other Peanut Butter Chocolate Ice Cream Topping Ideas

For the topping on this dessert, I have included Chocolate Ice Magic, Malteasers and crushed Scorched Peanut Bar.

If it was for a child's party I would have used the Chocolate Ice Magic and Reeces Pieces or Peanut M&M's for some bright yellow.

To make it look fancier you could decorate it with Chocolate Ice Magic, whipped cream, banana slices, some crushed pavlova kisses and flake chocolate.

The fun part is decorating the frozen dessert and turning it into a delicious masterpiece. Ice magic was used to give the peanut butter ice-cream a crunchy, chocolate topping. I crushed some peanut brittle balls and sprinkled them over the chocolate. This gives the dessert an extra caramel and chocolate crunch. Finally, I wanted to make the peanut flavour stand out a little more so I sprinkled more crushed peanuts over the dessert.

It was an EPIC tasting dessert that is SO SIMPLE to make!

From start to finish, I don't think I spent more than 5 minutes preparing and decorating my peanut brittle chocolate ice cream!

Straight out of the freezer, the ice-cream texture is quite firm, but it softens really quickly and becomes light and creamy. Demolding was simple too. I used a metal loaf tin to set the ice cream. Just prior to serving I filled the sink with hot water and immersed ยพ of the tin for 2 seconds. Then it was just a matter of turning the tin upside down just above the serving plate and pressing the centre of the tin.

Voila, homemade peanut butter & chocolate ice cream ready for decorating.

FAQ - Peanut & Chocolate Ice-Cream

If I don't have a metal loaf tin can I use a glass container?

If you don't have a metal tin it's best to use a plastic dish. When you are de-molding the ice cream it's important to place the container in hot water for a few seconds. This could cause the glass to crack. Also, the flex in the metal and plastic allows the ice cream to be easily removed.

How long should the ice cream be out of the freezer prior to serving?

Removing the ice cream 15 minutes before serving will usually be long enough for the dessert to be at a semifreddo consistency.

When should I decorate the Ice Cream?

Decorate the ice cream when you are ready to serve. If you decorate it and then put it back in the fridge it might get knocked and the chocolate will brake off.

How long will the dessert last?

The dessert will last in an airtight container in the freezer for a month or more.

How long should I leave this out of the freezer if I would like to scoop the ice-cream?

The time will depend on how hot your kitchen is and the season. I would take a look at the ice cream after 15 minutes and determine how much longer the ice cream needs from there.

Can the ice cream be used in an ice cream mould?

Yes, this is the perfect ice cream base mixture for an icy pole mould. The mixture is firm enough to be safe on a stick.

    Love the presentation! It looked really impressive and had a super peanut butter flavour. The ice cream was very rich so a small slice was adequate. Thanks for a great recipe!
