This Peanut Butter Bonanza Ice Cream is an egg free ice cream recipe is chock full of peanut butter and chocolate goodies. It's sure to satisfy even the most discerning peanut butter lover's appetite.
There's just some ice cream flavours that make me go weak in the knees. Peanut Butter is one of them. Toss in some chocolate with that peanut butter and it's a marriage made in heaven. Not one of those hollywood weddings, but a real marriage that stands the test of time.
The vanilla ice cream forms the foundation, simple and classic in taste. You build on that foundation with peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, hershey kisses. Then you get a little crazy and add some mini peanut butter cups just to push the foundation to its limit. So what if the mixer teases you a little by looking like it's going to overflow.
I used my stand mixer for this recipe. Mine has been used so much I decided to name it. I call her Betsy.
Poor Betsy is getting old, she needs a little botox at this point in her life. She's a little tarnished and worn, but she's still running strong. She never fails me.
Honestly, I spin that mixer every single day, usually multiple times. It is, by far, the most used small appliance in our household. Betsy is worth her weight in gold. Even though she's silver.
I used my ice cream bowl stand mixer attachment for this recipe. Her name is Heavens. She's magical and whips up delicious ice cream in a snap.
Some of you may be wondering who on earth names their appliances, and why anyone would name one Betsy, and one Heavens.
I'll let you in on a little secret. My Mom used to nickname her car. She called her Ford Granada "Betsy". It stuck with me. When it wouldn't start she tap it and say "come on Betsy, you can do it".
Then, it would would chug, or making thumping sounds, and Mom would say "heavens to Betsy". It was cute and it always stuck in my mind.
So, when I got the attachment it just made perfect sense to name it Heavens. Then every time I use it in a recipe I get to say "Heavens to Betsy".
And y'all thought I was off my rocker didn't you? I'm really not. I just like cute nicknames for things.
This is some seriously delicious ice cream. You need to try this immediately.
It's a simple recipe that is egg free, and super easy to make. Plus it's tasty and chock full of all kinds of goodies. Enjoy!

Peanut Butter Bonanza Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup peanut butter chips
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup hershey kisses chopped
- 1 cup mini peanut butter cups
Instructions
- Freeze your ice cream maker bowl at least 24 hours in advance. It needs time to freeze before using. I keep mine in the freezer all the time, whether it has ice cream in it or not.
- In a stand mixer combine the whole milk, sugar and salt. Mix on medium speed until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Mix on low, build to medium, then high until the mixture becomes thick.
- Remove the mixer bowl from the mixer, cover it and pop in the fridge for about an hour.
- Remove the bowl from the fridge and transfer the liquid to your ice cream maker bowl. Attach that to the mixer, this is where the "heavens to betsy" thing comes to mind. Turn on and build up to high speed slowly so you don't make a huge mess. Let it churn for about 15 to 20 minutes. Once it thickens you can toss all the various chips and cups in. Let it spin just enough to incorporate those. Turn off. Remove the ice cream maker attachment and cover it. Then pop it in the freezer for at least a couple of hours. Or overnight.
- Remove a few minutes before serving.
- Serve with a big old Heavens to Betsy I Love Me Some Peanut Butter smile!

My Kitchen Aid is named Ruby. She has no attachment friends, but I suppose if she did, I'd have to name one 'slippers" and another "Tuesday", but I'd have to use them separately,because together, they'd make no sense 😉

I love chocolate and peanut butter together. Add ice cream and I'm swooning. I have an ice cream machine but I've never named it. I think it's a he!

My kitchenaid gets tons of use too. My dad got me the ice cream attachment the first Christmas after my kitchenaid. Love it!! And the perfect marriage with chocolate and peanut butter. We could all learn a lesson or two from their relationship.

Bonanza is right... you got some of my favorite things in this ice cream. 🙂

Even as I type this, Mrs K R is cutting up peanut butter and chocolate fudge. So you know that's a flavor combo we favor! This sounds delish - thanks.

Swoon. Now that I have a KitchenAid stand mixer, I can actually look towards the time when I get an attachment or two. An ice cream maker is definitely on the wish list, especially after seeing your amazing creation! Hubby and Dudette would go nuts for peanut butter ice cream. Well done!

The one good thing about making this is that my other half strongly dislikes peanut butter! The bad thing is that the kids love it so I have to share. 🙁 I can sneak it after they go to bed at night...
Thank you for telling us about this and sharing your ice cream recipe!

Where do you find 'whole milk'? I live in Canada I see homogenized 2% etc, dairy creamer, half n half whipping cream. But, no whole milk. Can I just use homogenized?
Kim Beaulieu
Hi Tina. Just saw this. Use homogenized, that's whole milk here in Canada. The combination of whole (homogenized) milk and heavy cream makes for a really creamy ice cream. Let me know if you have any more questions.
