Recipe Recipe: Peanut Butter Oreo Ice Cream
Posted By Priscilla Tsai on Mon, Jul 13, 2009 at 11:46 AM
It's hot out and I couldn't resist a trip to Cookout for a milkshake last week. My default shake flavor is always the mint Oreo, but this time I asked to get their fresh peanut butter shake mixed with Oreo chunks. Genius idea, if I do say so myself.
Inspired by this milkshake flavor combo and since it is National Ice Cream Month, I whipped out the ice cream maker this past weekend to create some Peanut Butter Oreo Ice Cream. For the ice cream base, I used David Lebovitz's Peanut Butter Ice Cream, then I mixed in chopped up Oreo cookies in the last few minutes of churning.
If you like crunch, you can even use chunky peanut butter and mix in chopped peanuts into the ice cream as well.
The recipe is quick and easy - the churning part takes less than 20 minutes. The trick is to get your ice cream maker's canister frozen real well (set your freezer temperature to the coldest setting and freeze it for 24+ hours) and chill your ice cream mix thoroughly before churning it (I put mine in the freezer for an hour or so to make sure it was nice and icy cold).
Peanut Butter Ice Cream
Source: The Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz
¾ cup smooth peanut butter
¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar (I used only 3/4 cup sugar)
2 2/3 cups half-and-half
Pinch of salt
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chopped Oreo cookies
Puree the peanut butter, sugar, half-and-half, salt, and vanilla in a blender or food processor until smooth.
Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. During the last few minutes of churning, add in Oreo chunks.
