If you’re a peanut butter-aholic, this easy homemade peanut butter ice cream is for you. In no time at all you can enjoy delightful spoon after spoon of this delicious, creamy, smooth peanut butter flavor-packed treat. You seriously could not find an easier recipe for a fantastic ice cream. This will satisfy the peanut butter lover in you!
Customize Your Ice Cream
You could embellish this easy homemade peanut butter ice cream. If you wanted to, that is. You don’t have to. I thought it was fantastic made just as the recipe states. It’s creamy delicious and packed with peanut flavor. But, I can see wanting to add a little crunch or something else maybe. Perhaps a few handfuls of toasted peanuts. That’d be good, for sure. And a good drizzle of chocolate syrup? That’d take it way over the top!
… But Use The Good Stuff
Better peanut butter makes for better ice cream. Yeah, seems obvious but its amazing how much difference it can make. It seems like any ‘cheapness’ to your peanut butter gets magnified when you add it to ice cream. You want each and every bite to be perfect. Dream-worthy. And not sad from sad peanut butter!
I use my lil Cuisinart ice cream maker for this and all the ice creams that I make at home. It keeps me in the ‘easy’ mode because it’s easy to use and easy to clean. All I have to do is make sure that I put the freezer bowl into the freezer a good day ahead so that it gets super cold.

I store my homemade ice cream in these freezer tubs. They’re the perfect shape for scooping. Just set the out a few minutes to let the ice cream soften up a bit. Then ‘drag’ your ice cream scooper from one end to the other! Boom! The perfect round ice cream scoop!
