Description
Creamy and indulgent Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Ice Cream combines rich heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and peanut butter with chunks of Reese’s Miniatures for a no-churn, easy homemade dessert perfect for peanut butter and chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 16 oz heavy cream
- 15 oz sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
Add-Ins
- 30 Reese’s Miniatures Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped and chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Reese’s Cups: Unwrap and chop the Reese’s Miniatures into small pieces, setting some aside to use as a topping later.
- Whip Heavy Cream: Pour the heavy cream into a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the wire whip attachment. Whip on high speed for about 3 minutes until stiff peaks form, indicating the cream is fully aerated and fluffy.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk and Peanut Butter: Slowly add the sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter to the whipped cream. Continue whipping on high speed for an additional minute to fully incorporate all ingredients into a smooth mixture.
- Fold in Reese’s Pieces: Gently fold in the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, reserving some to sprinkle on top of the ice cream before freezing.
- Freeze the Ice Cream Mixture: Transfer the ice cream mixture into a loaf pan or a freezer-safe bowl. Evenly distribute the remaining reserved chopped Reese’s Cups over the top for added texture and decoration.
- Chill: Cover the pan or bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Chill for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the ice cream to set properly before serving.
Notes
- Do not thaw the ice cream before serving to maintain the perfect creamy texture.
- Use natural creamy peanut butter for the best flavor integration.
- For a smoother peanut butter swirl, gently warm the peanut butter before mixing.
- This recipe requires no ice cream maker—simply whip and freeze.
- The ice cream can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week for optimal freshness.
- Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.
