Peanut flavour ice cream

to make 500g of ice cream:
200ml cream
150ml milk
85g sugar
1 vanilla pod
1 egg
2+ large tbsp of peanut butter
pinch of salt

  1. Slice open the vanilla pod and remove the vanilla seeds with the back of a knife. Place the cream, milk, sugar and the empty vanilla pod in a sauce pan and bring to just boiling.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the egg with a pinch of salt and the vanilla seeds.
  3. Slowly add the heated cream mix to the egg while whisking vigorously. Scoop out the vanilla pod and discard.
  4. Add the peanut butter and mix until the cream mixture is smooth.
  5. Leave to cool and place in the fridge for 1 hour.
  6. If you have an ice cream maker you can use that from this point on, if you don't own one (like me), pour the cream into a metallic pot and place in the freezer compartment for at least 5 hours. Mix the ice cream every 30-60min to achieve the creamy effect. If you only allow it to freeze without mixing you will taste the water icicles and not iced cream!
