Peanut butter icecream

Possession

I've used Advanced search, and looked at the threads to do with peanut butter, but I can't find a recipe for peanut butter icecream. We've just finished a tub of the M & S Peanut Butter Heaven and it is really is heavenly! But not very OS. Does anyone make a peanut butter icecream, even better a no-churn one as I don't have an icecream maker anymore. I'd love to make my own as it's my daughter's new favourite.

No, but to up the game a little dh had a peanuty snickers flavour icecream from the new homemade icecream parlour recently, it was very good.

I used frozen bananas and whizzed them up with a good tbsp of peanut butter and it made great, instant peanut butter ice cream!

We have a milkshake bar near us that does dozens or different flavour milkshakes - snickers, mars bar, creme egg.......

Mmmmm I'd love that but DD hates banana so I don't think that would work for her unfortunately. It would be a lot healthier than the M & S one though which I suspect is highly calorific. I haven't dared look! I have some bananas in the freezer so I will try this, thanks.

For those without an ice cream maker, simply put the mixture into a shallow dish and put it in the freezer. Every hour or so, move the frozen bits from the edge of the dish into the middle. Eventually, it will all be frozen.

PS. Try this with a tin of condensed milk and a tin of coconut milk.

hhmmmm..... I'll need to look at the ingredients in the M&S one as the first thought that occurs to me is that peanut butter is often quite salty. I think there's one or two without salt added, but they tend to be the expensive organic brands.

to make a "peanut butter flavouring" for ice cream, whizz up a handful of skinned peanuts with a teaspoon of oil, peanut oil is good but any will do

its very concentrated as a peanut butter spread but as a flavouring for ice cream its ideal
if you find its too dry, add a little honey

making ice cream with a can of value custard, vanilla extract and a tub of cream in a shallow container would be fine for this, as said before, draw the frozen edges in, ice cream really needs air incorporated
without a maker you will have a rich ice cream (more suited to a little bit on the side of an apple pie etc rather than a dish of only ice cream for a child) IYSWIM

this has got me thinking

since you dont have an ice cream machine, what about making gelato?
less fat than ice cream, smoother flavour, and less air needs incorporated?

i make gelato more than ice cream, simply because of flavour

i feel an experiment coming on
and no one likes peanut butter in our house:rotfl:

**likes a challenge**:D

I *ahem* don't have the pack anymore but it has chocolate coated salted peanuts and some caramel in I think too (so going for the whole salted caramel vibe!), and rather than the peanut butter just being mixed into the icecream there are globs of peanut butter too which are possibly the most delicious bit of the whole thing. And I don't even much like peanut butter!
