Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the base
  • 2 cups heavy cream Use cold, fresh heavy cream for the richest texture.
  • 1 cup whole milk Whole milk adds body; don’t use skim for true creaminess.
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar Balances the cocoa and peanut butter notes.
For the flavor
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder Sifted if lumpy; choose Dutch-processed for deeper flavor.
  • ½ cup peanut butter powder Such as PB2 for authentic peanut flavor without excess oil.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Quality vanilla enhances the overall profile.
  • 1 pinch fine salt Brings out chocolate and peanut butter flavors.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and whole milk until slightly unified.
  2. Add sugar, cocoa powder, and peanut butter powder. Whisk briskly to incorporate until smooth and glossy.
  3. Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of fine salt. Taste and adjust sweetness or cocoa as needed.
  4. Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, leveling the surface and leaving recommended headspace.
  5. Tap the pint gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Freezing
  1. Place the sealed pint in the coldest part of your freezer for a minimum of 24 hours.
Processing
  1. Remove the pint from the freezer and lid. Process in the Ninja Creami using the 'Ice Cream' setting.
  2. If the texture is crumbly, use the 'Re-spin' option or add a tablespoon of milk, then re-spin.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately for soft-serve texture or refreeze for firmer scoops.
  2. Garnish with cocoa, melted chocolate, crushed peanuts, or peanut butter powder if desired.

Notes

For optimal texture, do not skip the full 24-hour freeze. Adjust chocolate intensity with additional salt if needed. Enjoy scooping with softened ice cream after letting it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
