Mix the condensed milk, peanut butter and icing sugar together in a large mixing bowl until well combined
In another mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer, or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, to whip up the double cream to soft peaks
Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a spoon or spatula. Do this in two or three stages until you have a smooth mixture
Mix in the Reese's peanut butter cups
Place the ice cream into a 2.5 litre tub. Warm the peanut butter for decoration in the microwave for 20 seconds, then drizzle it all over the top of the ice cream. Decorate with more Reese's peanut butter cups
Put it in the freezer overnight or for at least 4 hours before serving. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months
Notes
You will need sweetened condensed milk for this recipe, do not use evaporated milk as it will affect the final result.
The best kind of cream to use is double cream, which has around a 48% fat content. As long as you are using a high fat content cream that will thicken when whisked, then this will not greatly affect the final result. Using single cream, or a lower fat cream, will affect the final result.
It’s best to use an electric hand mixer, or a stand mixer, to whisk up the double cream. It will take much longer by hand and require a lot of work!
If you are using a peanut butter that has added sugar, you may not need to add the icing sugar.
Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50).
For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.
