This Peanut Butter Brownie Ice Cream Recipe is made without an ice cream maker. It’s full of chewy brownie chunks and peanut butter flavor. Making no churn ice cream at home is delicious and easy – and so good with peanut butter and brownies!
No Churn Peanut Butter Brownie Ice Cream
Out of all of my no-churn ice cream recipes, this is the one that I find myself re-making. And it’s not only because it’s so easy to put together, all of my no-churn ice cream recipes are easy. That’s the beauty of homemade ice cream without a machine.
Surprisingly, I had some leftover brownies and was craving a cold dessert. And if you’re a regular reader here, then you know how much I love peanut butter. But I love chocolate peanut butter even more. There’s just something terrific about the two flavors when combined.
That’s where this delicious peanut butter fudge ice cream comes in. A mind-blowing, drool-inspiring, machine-free ice cream. Serve it in a cone, a cup, or on top of a brownie with homemade chocolate sauce.
Ingredients
- Sweetened condensed milk: no need to add any sugar since this milk is sweet enough. I like to use the fat-free kind but use any kind you like.
- Vanilla: vanilla extract adds an incredible depth of flavor to any sweet treat
- Peanut butter: natural peanut butter should be okay once it’s fully mixed but I always use Skippy Naturals, which is more “natural” but is no-stir.
- Cool Whip: regular, light, or fat-free. Or use freshly whipped cream.
- Brownies: baked and cooled brownies. You can use a brownie mix or store-bought brownies for this.

I want to say thank yóu for the recipe. I can modify the recipe and make some of my favorite ice cream that I buy at the grocery store.
Hi Dorothy,
If you use heavy cream instead of cool whip do you sweeten it when your whipping it to stiff peaks? Just a thought, thanks. Love all your recipes.
Thanks,
Jenn C
No you don’t need to – the sweetened condensed milk is plenty sweet enough!
Looks tantalizing. But i’m not a fan of cool whip, so would want to use whipped cream. Your write up and your recipe say “see note” but I can’t find the note. What do i need to know? thanks…
Thank you for posting the recipe. I think I may be missing the note regarding using whipping cream vs. Cool Whip. Just wondering the measurement of whipping cream to beat into stiff peaks. 8 oz or 16? Thanks, again!
Thanks so much!!! I love no-churn recipes. We used to have an ice cream maker on the farm which was fun but for just two of us, this is so much easier. 🙂
Do you think this would be just as good w/ natural peanut butter. The kind that has to go in the fridge. Trying to keep it as healthy as possible. LOL
I’ve never used natural peanut butter in my ice cream recipe. I *think* it should be okay once it’s mixed, but let me know how it works! I always use Skippy Naturals, which is more “natural” but is no-stir.
