How to Make Reese’s Peanut Butter Ice Cream

• Step 1 – Place the small bag of mini Reese’s in the freezer for about 10 mins.

Step 2 – In a large bowl add cocoa powder to sweetened condensed milk, stir or use a electric mixer until fully combined. In another large bowl mix heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, fold in condensed milk and chocolate mixture.

Step 3 – Heat peanut butter in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds until melted. Take the frozen peanut butter cups from the freezer and unwrap candies. Cut each candy into 4 pieces.

Step 4 – Fold about 2/3 of the chunks of reese’s candy into the mixture.

Step 5 – Using a loaf pan, pour ⅓ of the mixture into the bottom of the pan, top with ⅓ of the melted peanut butter. Repeat to add 2 more layers.

• Step 6 – Once all layers are complete use a knife and run it through the pan to create swirls of peanut butter in the mix.
• Step 7 – Top with remaining candy pieces.
• Step 8 – Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.

Expert Tips

• Freezing – Make sure you give time for the ice cream to freeze. We like to make the night before serving which gives it plenty of time to freeze. Make sure to cover the pan to prevent any freezer burn.
• Layering Mixture – To ensure that there is chunks of peanut butter cups throughout the ice cream, layer the mixture in the loaf pan.
• Swirling Mixture – Gently swirl the peanut butter throughout the layers for even more flavor.
