Peanut Butter Swirl Ice Cream Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Add pretzels, 1/4 cup peanuts and brown sugar to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse until the mixture resembles very coarse sand with a few larger pieces remaining. Pulse in the butter until well combined.
• Press about 3/4 cup of the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Spread the remaining mixture in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake crust and crumbs until light golden and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes. The crust may take a bit longer to brown (another 2 to 3 minutes). Set pans on a rack to cool completely.
• When the crust and crumbs are cool, transfer 1 quart of the ice cream to a large bowl and use a wooden spoon to break it into a few pieces. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature until slightly softened, about 10 minutes. Drizzle half the peanut butter over the top and gently fold it into the ice cream, so some ribbons of peanut butter remain.
• Scoop the ice cream mixture onto the cooled crust and use an offset spatula to gently spread it to the edges of the pan, being careful not to pull the crust away from the bottom of the pan. Drizzle the top of the ice cream with 1 tablespoon of honey and use the tip of a knife or wooden skewer to swirl it as best you can into the surface of the ice cream. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of the peanut-pretzel crumbs from the baking sheet over the top and gently press them into the ice cream. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place the cake in the freezer.
• After about an hour, soften the second quart of ice cream, and mix the remaining half of the peanut butter into it, and spread as before. Drizzle the remaining honey over the top and swirl it into the surface of the ice cream. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and return it to the freezer to chill the cake for at least 4 hours before serving, and up to overnight.
• Just before serving, whip the cream to soft peaks, and stir the remaining whole peanuts into the remaining peanut-pretzel crumbs.
• To unmold the cake, run a thin knife or offset spatula under hot water to warm it, and slide it around the edges of the cake. Remove the outer ring of the springform pan, dollop the top of the cake with whipped cream, lightly spread it to the edge, and sprinkle the remaining peanut-pretzel mixture around the top edge. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until just hot. Meanwhile, beat sugar & eggs together in a medium bowl until thick & pale yellow.
• Gradually whisk hot milk into egg mixture in bowl, then pour milk-egg mixture into saucepan. Return saucepan to medium-low heat and cook custard, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until it is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from the heat and stir in half the peanut butter. Strain the custard inot a large bowl, let cool briefly, stirring often, then stir in cream and vanilla. Cover & refrigerate until cold, 6-8 hours.
• Process mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions, adding half the chopped nuts to the ice cream 30 seconds before it has finished churning. Transfer to a bowl, quickly swirl in remaining peanut butter, cover, and freeze until hard. Serve ice cream sprinkled with remaining nuts.

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan, heat the milk, brown sugar and salt until bubbles form around sides of pan. Whisk a small amount of hot mixture into the egg. Return all to the pan, whisking constantly., Cook and stir over low heat until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat; whisk in peanut butter. Quickly transfer to a bowl; place in ice water and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in cream and vanilla. Press waxed paper onto surface of custard. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight., Fill cylinder of ice cream freezer two-thirds full; freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. , When ice cream is frozen, spoon into a freezer container, layering with jelly; freeze for 2-4 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Line one 8-by-12-inch glass or metal baking pan and one 8-by-8-inch glass or metal baking pan with parchment paper.
• Fill a large bowl with ice and water; set aside. Combine egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat at medium-high speed until very thick and pale yellow, 3 to 5 minutes. (Alternatively, whisk egg yolks and sugar together in a medium bowl.)
• In a medium saucepan, bring milk just to a simmer. With mixer running on low, use a measuring cup or ladle to slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk into the egg-yolk mixture, beating constantly until blended. Continue, adding about 1/2 cup milk at a time, until all has been added.
• Return mixture to saucepan; cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat back of spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. The custard should retain a line drawn across back of spoon with your finger. Whisk in 1 cup peanut butter.
• Remove pan from heat, and stir in cold heavy cream. Pour custard through a mesh strainer into a medium bowl set in the ice bath; stir occasionally until cool. Stir vanilla into cooled custard. Cover bowl and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• Pour the custard into a chilled ice-cream maker; freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. (The ice-cream mixture will be set but not hard.)
• Swirl in remaining cup of peanut butter; transfer two-thirds of the soft ice cream, or 1 quart, to larger baking pan, smoothing the surface with an offset spatula. Transfer remaining third (1/2 quart) to smaller pan, smoothing its surface. Cover each pan with plastic wrap; freeze overnight. Ice cream may be made to this point up to 1 week ahead.

Steps:

• In a small pot, simmer heavy cream, milk, sugar and salt until sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly whisk about a third of the hot cream into the yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream.
• Return pot to medium-low heat and gently cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer).
• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Whisk in peanut butter and vanilla extract. Cool mixture to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Serve directly from the machine for soft serve, or store in freezer until needed.
