Pretty dang good. Chocolate on it’s own tastes quite a bit like chocolate pudding. I made the mistake of churning before it was all the way cool and over an hour later it wasn’t quite hard yet. I gave up after 1 1/4 hours and added the peanut butter. Less of a ribbon than I wanted, but still really delicious!

Decadent, delicious ice cream. The chocolate base would be amazing on it’s own, but it’s over the top with peanut butter. I made it with Trader Joe’s creamy salted peanut butter which worked perfectly in terms of texture, consistency and taste. Oh, and beware sampling the chocolate base while it’s cooling–you’ll find yourself tempted to eat the whole bowl before you even freeze it!

The best homemade ice cream- EVER! It was so rich and creamy, unlike any homemade ice cream I’ve made before. I think I said, “This is fabulous” about 8 times while I was eating my first bowl.

mousemom03: I used Jif, and it wasn’t too sweet. I thought it complemented the sweetness of the chocolate really well. (PB and chocolate ice cream is my favorite flavor, but I don’t like it too sweet.) I heated the PB in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, which made it easy to drizzle in. Good luck in trying out a natural PB! I’m interested to see how it turns out.

This is delicious! I used dark cocoa powder, which made it even more decadent. I had a little trouble with the chocolate mixture sticking to the bottom of the pan as it boiled, even at a very low boil. Next time I’ll turn the heat down more and see if that makes a difference. I’ll definitely make this again. I’ve now discovered the reason I won’t be losing any weight this summer!

Was so very yummy, but I had a problem the second day after it had turned into a rock, maybe I churned it for too long?

This looks so good, but I have a question: is there a brand of Peanut Butter that you find works best? I usually buy natural/organic PB…but I am thinking maybe Jiff might be smoother & easier to work with? Or is it too sweet? Natural PB is not as sweet as that kid-friendly stuff. Anyways, if you have experimented & found something you like best…let me know!

This was great! The peanut butter didn’t quite swirle like I thought it would, but that only meant more peanut butter in every bite.

OMG!!! I used my new ice cream maker for the first time last night and used this recipe. I normally buy the cheapest largest tub of whatever is on sale ice cream for my 3 boys, they are NOT picky.
Who knew ice cream could be so rich and creamy? I am not a big straight chocolate fan, I find it somewhat bitter. The peanut butter is a perfect compliment to mellow the chocoate and the taste is DIVINE. At this rate, my family will be sick of ice cream!!
