How to Make Peanut Butter Ripple Ice Cream (No Churn)

1. Whisk the Ice Cream Base: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment to combine 2 cups heavy cream, 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until everything is smooth and well combined; this should only take about 1-2 minutes.
2. Prepare the Peanut Butter: In a heatproof bowl (a large glass measuring cup works well), add 1 cup creamy peanut butter. Microwave it on high for about 15-20 seconds. This makes it easier to pour; adjust heating time based on your desired consistency.
3. Incorporate Peanut Butter into the Base: Pour roughly ¼ cup of the warmed peanut butter into the ice cream mixture. Beat the mixture on high speed for about 3-5 minutes until it thickens and becomes smooth. You’ll know it’s ready when the whisk starts to leave trails in the bowl.
4. Layer the Ice Cream: Spoon about ⅓ of the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container, such as a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan. Spread half of the remaining melted peanut butter evenly over the layer of ice cream using a spatula.
5. Repeat Layering: Add another ⅓ of the ice cream on top of the peanut butter layer, and then drizzle the remaining melted peanut butter. Finish with the last portion of ice cream on top.
6. Create Swirl Effects: Take a butter knife and gently plunge it into the container, running it through the layers to create beautiful swirls. Be careful not to over-mix; you want those swirly designs visible.
7. Freeze: Cover the container tightly and freeze the ice cream overnight, or for at least 8 hours, until it’s fully firm. For best results, consume within 3 months.

Storing & Reheating

Store your Peanut Butter Ripple Ice Cream in a freezer-safe container. It will stay fresh for up to 3 months. To serve, simply scoop it out while it’s slightly softened for better texture. If it’s too hard, let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before serving, but be careful not to let it melt too much, as it can affect the creaminess.

Rich, creamy, and indulgently sweet, this Peanut Butter Ripple Ice Cream will definitely be a staple treat in your freezer. Not only is it a fast and easy dessert solution, but it also delivers a charming homemade touch that everyone will enjoy. Don’t be afraid to customize it—perhaps add swirls of jam or other favorite nut butters. The next time your sweet tooth strikes, this no-churn delight awaits you!
