Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base:
1½ cups heavy cream
1½ cups whole milk
â…” cup granulated sugar
â…› teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Mix-Ins:
¾ to 1 cup hot fudge sauce, cooled (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup miniature peanut butter cups, halved or chopped
Instructions
Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Churn the Ice Cream:
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Add Mix-Ins:
Transfer one-third of the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container.
Drizzle a generous amount of the cooled hot fudge sauce over the ice cream and sprinkle with a portion of the chopped peanut butter cups.
Repeat the layering process two more times with the remaining ice cream, fudge sauce, and peanut butter cups.
Freeze:
Cover the container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
Notes
For best results, ensure the hot fudge sauce is cooled to room temperature before adding to the ice cream to prevent melting.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can make a no-churn version by whipping 2 cups of heavy cream to stiff peaks, folding in a 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk and the vanilla extract, then layering with the fudge sauce and peanut butter cups as described above. Freeze until firm.
