Happy Halloween! In honor of this candy-filled day, how about a peanut butter and chocolate ice cream to satisfy all the Reese's loving kids and adults out there!! I have a date tonight with my favorite furry creature, boyfriend, a spooky drink and Hocus Pocus. Cheers!
Ingredients:
3 tbsp creamy peanut butter
3 tbsp peanut butter powder
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups heavy cream

Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan on medium heat add the peanut butter, peanut butter powder, sugar, 1 cup heavy cream, milk
2. Mix until the sugar and peanut butter have dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool for 20 minutes

4. Pour yolk mixture back into saucepan and stir custard until it becomes thick and reaches 165-170 degrees Fahrenheit
5. Strain custard mixture into remaining heavy cream and let it cool in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight
6. Once custard has cooled, freeze in ice cream maker following the manufacturer's instructions
