Lately I have been on a peanut butter kick. Not sure why, but I just can’t get enough of it! This peanut butter cup ice cream definitely satisfies any peanut butter craving.

Not only does it have peanut butter in the base, it has swirls of peanut butter throughout. Top it all off with Reese’s peanut butter cups, and you have one decadent peanut butter treat!

Peanut butter actually makes the ice cream extra creamy and keeps it from getting as hard as other homemade ice creams I’ve made.

I used creamy peanut butter this time around, but chunky would work too.

Guys, I can’t even tell you how amazing this ice cream turned out. Every single bite is rich, creamy, and purely decadent. I love my ice cream loaded with goodies, and this Reese’s ice cream totally fits the bill!

You do need an ice cream maker for this recipe, and I LOVE mine. It requires no ice or salt, so it takes all the hassle out of making ice cream.It’s a Cuisinart, and you can see it HERE.

I actually have two canisters, and I keep one in the freezer all year long so we can make homemade ice cream at the drop of a hat. You just never know when the ice cream craving will strike!

Update: After a reader had trouble with the ice cream separating while being churned, I did some experimenting. If you don’t let it chill long enough, it will separate because it doesn’t freeze fast enough while being churned. I recommend chilling overnight!

Also, use regular peanut butter like Jif or Skippy. Natural peanut butter always has problems with separating.

    I don’t know what went wrong, mine got the weirdest texture once it went into the ice cream maker. The oil in the peanut butter separated from the rest so it had weird chunks of frozen oil. It was the texture of grits. So gross 🤢, nothing delicious or creamy about it.

      Dang, I’m so sorry. Did you use regular peanut butter like Jif or Skippy, or did you use natural peanut butter? I know natural peanut butter isn’t emulsified, so it does have a tendency to separate.

    Thanks for the recipe!! Novice here and was impatient so I didn’t chill the mixture, and it ended up clumping in the maker. I let it thaw overnight and decided to blend it in the morning and chill again before throwing it back in the maker. I was thinking: 1. Maybe I didn’t mix the sugar and peanut butter well enough in the first step, 2. Didn’t let it chill overnight the first time. Any other thoughts on why it could be clumping? My freezer bowl was definitely cold enough. It started clumping around 16-18 min of churning.

      I just tried the recipe again and didn’t chill the mixture overnight. Mine didn’t turn out as creamy as it usually does either. I have no idea why chilling overnight makes a difference, but maybe it does. I’m going to try more trouble shooting to see if that really is the issue. So sorry you had trouble!
