Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Another try on the ice cream attachment. Another winner! This may be the household favorite so far. I found this on Dinner and Dessert blog.

Ingredients
2 cups half and half
1/4 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
1/2 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter

Directions
Whisk together the half and half, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt in a large saucepan. Heat the mixture, whisking frequently, until it comes to a full, rolling boil (it will start to foam up). Remove from the heat and whisk in the peanut butter, stirring until thoroughly blended.

Chill the mixture thoroughly, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Here is a great mix-in for the ice cream:

Peanut Butter Patties

Ingredients
6 TBSP peanut butter
2 TBSP powdered sugar

Directions
Mix together the peanut butter and sugar in a small bowl. Line a plate with plastic wrap. Pinch off small pieces of the peanut butter mixture, about 1/2 tsp. each, and drop them onto the dinner plate. Once you've used all of the mixture, freeze the patties.

Mixing them in: Fold the Peanut Butter patties into 1 quart of ice cream as you remove it from the machine. The patties ban be stored in the freezer, well wrapped for up to 1 month.
