How to Make To Die For Peanut Butter Ice Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups whole milk, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup creamy peanut butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
  2. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
  3. Place a sieve over a large mixing bowl. Pour 1 cup heavy cream into the bowl, setting aside for later.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk 4 large egg yolks until light and fluffy.
  5. Gradually whisk the hot peanut butter mixture into the egg yolks. Return the combined mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the seeds from 1 vanilla bean pod.
  7. Pour the custard through the sieve into the bowl with the reserved 1 cup of heavy cream.
  8. Stir until completely smooth and combined.
  9. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 9 hours, or preferably overnight.
  10. Churn the chilled custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  11. Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for a firmer consistency.
