So…yeah. If you don’t like peanut butter this may not be the post for you.
Monday was my husband’s birthday. Whenever I start brainstorming what to make for his birthday, two things come to mind: carrot cake and peanut butter and chocolate.
When I asked him if there was something he wanted me to make he mentioned maybe something with peanut butter cups.
Well. Now, we all know I did that. Last year. And then some.
Also, I didn’t want to make a cake. Too much leftover. You all know my husband pretty well by now. If I made him a cake he would eat one slice and then guess you would eat the rest?
All the running in the world wouldn’t cure that, now would it?
So I made him some simple deep dish peanut butter chocolate chip peanut cookies.
And then I dressed them up like they were Cinderella, going to the ball.
No one likes a nekkid cookie. A nekkid cookie might get teased and then feel bad about itself. We can’t have that, now can we?
So I made some ice cream. Peanut butter ice cream. You know, using that two ingredient method?
{But this time I used actual whipped cream instead of Cool Whip. ‘Cuz my guy is one of those people…you know the type. The “hmmm…that’s too sweet” type. WTH does “too sweet” even mean?}
Now, normally, I would have stopped there. But since we’re dressing up the cookie, she needed some accessories. A hat, perhaps.
Made of chocolate sauce. And peanuts.
There she is. All dressed up and ready for the ball.
Hubba hubba.
Happy Birthday to my sweet husband. You’re a fantastic husband and father.
Now go eat another cookie, will ya’?

I love desserts that are already portioned out for you. Because if I’m cutting cake for myself, I cut them big so I can have a ton of frosting! These are fantastic! Love the peanut butter ice cream! It’s all so perfect! Happy bday to your husband too!
Me too! He actually asked for a portioned dessert, lol. 🙂 Thank you!
Looks amazing!! Megan
Looks like we were both craving the same thing… peanut butter & chocolate, I just decided to add some bacon to it, haha 🙂 Your sundaes look awesome and they are just the perfect treat for the summer! Thanks for commenting on my blog! Can’t wait to make these sundaes!
XOXO,
Juliana

Ooooooh, yes! That would be great!
Is the texture of this ice cream like regular ice cream?? The one thing I refuse to do, for now anyway, is break down and buy an ice cream maker when I can just buy ice cream at the store. But I love making sorbets in the freezer, so I’d be willing to try this!
I don’t know what would be worse: a husband who refuses to eat the junk food leaving it all to the wife or a husband who eats all the junk food, forcing the wife to hoard her treats…hmmm.
These look WAY TOO delicious! Ice cream, chocolate and peanut butter are the best combination ever. I am definitely going to have to try this one!
Dorothy, your ice cream turned out good even though you didn’t use an ice cream maker?
I always thought one had to use an ice cream maker to make good ice cream. Do you make all your ice cream this way or do you sometimes use an ice cream maker?
Thanks and love love love your site!!!
