How to Make Peanut Butter Ice Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, salt, and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.
  2. Continue to boil, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer (soft-ball stage).
  3. Remove from heat and carefully pour the hot syrup into the chilled heavy cream while whisking constantly to prevent scorching.
  4. Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until light and frothy.
  6. Slowly drizzle about 1/3 of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  7. Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the remaining cream mixture. Stir until well combined.
  8. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mixture to chill thoroughly.
  10. Once chilled, churn the ice cream mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  11. Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to harden further.
