Instructions for How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream without an Ice Cream Maker

Place your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for about 20 minutes.

Place your Reese cups in a ziploc bag and smash them using a plate or glass. You can also place them in a food processor and pulse them coarsely. Set aside.

Place your heavy cream and cocoa powder in a freezer cold bowl and whip until stiff peaks form.

Add the condensed milk into the bowl with the whipped cream. Let the condensed milk run down the edges and mix on low until you have poured all the condensed milk in and it is mixed in with the whipped cream.

Pour half of the mixture into a loaf pan and top with the ground reese cups.

Pour remaining chocolate mixture on top and layer more ground reese cups on top. Place in freezer to chill for 8 hours.

Why Freeze Bowls When Making Ice Cream?

Freezing the bowls isn't necessary. But if you want creamy, smooth ice cream it's best to freeze your whisk, bowls and your freezer safe storage container(s) before you begin.

Keeping the bowls cool will in turn keep the whipping cream cool and prevent the whipping cream from crystallizing.

It's also a good idea to freeze any products you will be using if possible, like chocolate so that when you add them to the whipped cream mixture, they help to maintain the temperature of the whipped cream ice cream rather than it going up and down. This in turns help to prevent a big temperature change and will prevent some crystallization.

Top tip

Hint: Freeze all your bowls, whisk, storage containers prior to whipping the cream.
