This Ninja Creami peanut butter cup ice cream is creamy, rich, and packed with peanut butter flavor in every bite.

Equipment
- Ninja Creami Deluxe Ice Cream maker
- Ninja Creami 24 ounce container pint
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- Pinch of salt
- 3 to 4 mini peanut butter cups
Instructions

Blend until completely smooth, about 45 to 60 seconds, making sure the peanut butter is fully incorporated with no streaks.1 ½ cups milk, ¼ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk, ¼ cup creamy peanut butter, Pinch of salt
- Pour and freeze. Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container, making sure it does not go past the max fill line. Cover with the lid and freeze for 24 hours, or until completely solid.
- Thaw slightly, then spin. Remove the pint from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes. Process on the Ice Cream setting. If it looks crumbly after the first spin, run a Re-Spin.
- Add the mix-ins. Make a hole in the center of the ice cream with a spoon. Chop the mini peanut butter cups and add them to the center. Process on the Mix-In setting.3 to 4 mini peanut butter cups
- Serve. Scoop and serve right away.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter, not natural peanut butter, for the smoothest texture. Natural peanut butter can separate and make the base icy.
- Do not overfill the pint. Keep the base at or below the max fill line so it processes properly.
- If the ice cream looks dry or crumbly after the first spin, do not worry. A quick Re-Spin usually fixes it.
- Chop the peanut butter cups into small pieces so they mix in evenly and do not get stuck in large chunks.
- For cleaner mix-ins, freeze the chopped peanut butter cups for 10 to 15 minutes before adding them.
- Let the pint sit out for a few minutes before spinning. This helps the frozen base process more evenly.
- For a stronger peanut butter flavor, add 1 to 2 extra tablespoons of peanut butter, but keep in mind it will make the ice cream richer and a little heavier.
