This chocolate peanut butter ice cream is one of the best ice creams I’ve ever had! It’s ultra creamy and has an intense chocolate flavor.
This recipe is adapted from the book The Perfect Scoop. It’s one of my very favorite ice cream cookbooks.
I’ve made dozens of the recipes in this book and discovered that for the most part, the white sugar can be replaced with maple syrup or honey. If you’re looking for a good ice cream book for the warmer months, I highly recommend David’s book!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream
If you’d like, you can substitute the peanut butter for another nut butter, the honey for maple syrup, or heavy cream for coconut milk.
