Peanut Butter Chocolate Ripple Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• In a saucepan simmer milk, peanut butter, and 1/2 cup sugar over moderate heat, stirring, until smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in vanilla and cool mixture to room temperature. Freeze mixture in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
• While ice cream is freezing, in a small saucepan simmer water and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Add chocolate, stirring until smooth, and cool sauce to room temperature.
• Spread one fourth ice cream in a 2-quart container and top with one third sauce. Layer remaining ice cream and sauce in same manner and with a spatula swirl sauce and ice cream together. Freeze ice cream, covered with plastic wrap, until hard.

Steps:

• Using a handheld mixer, cream the peanut butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth. Add 1 cup of half-and-half and beat on low speed until well mixed. Add the rest of the half-and-half and the cream and whisk by hand-if you try to use your mixer you will end up with it splattering all over the kitchen.
• Pour the mixture into ice cream maker and process for 25 to 30 minutes, or according to the manufacturer's directions. The ice cream will be on the soft side but can be eaten right away or put into the freezer to "cure" or harden up for a couple hours. Stored in an airtight container, the ice cream will keep at least a week in the freezer.
