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.

How to make peanut butter ice cream with brownies

  2. Mix in the vanilla extract and peanut butter 
  3. Fold in the Cool Whip and the brownie chunks
  4. Cover the ice cream mixture in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container 
  5. Freeze for at least 4 hours or leave it overnight in the freezer. 

Expert Tips

  • You can add chopped peanut butter cups or Reese’s Pieces

FAQs

Can I use store-bought brownies?

Yes. You don’t have to bake your own brownies. Just buy already-baked brownies and divide them into chunks

How long does no-churn ice cream last?

Lasts for about 3 months in the freezer when stored in a tightly sealed container. 

What is the best peanut butter for baking?

I always recommend no-stir peanut butter for baking.

  1. I hope Mel has a great birthday (even if he wants to ignore it)! As a fellow peanut butter lover I think he has excellent taste:-)

  2. My husband could care less about his birthday too — I can’t stand that! Birthday desserts count as presents don’t they (whether you made them weeks ago or not) haha. This ice cream looks amazing, and I love that it’s a no-churn because you get to eat it even faster that way. 🙂

  3. Happy birthday to Mel! Seriously, you should eat this if you know what is good for you 😉
    Wait, are there really people who hate Cool Whip? Dorothy, you need to set them straight! 🙂 And this peanut butter brownie ice cream is the way to do it. It looks to die for. So.so.good. Pinned!

  4. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEL!!! I hope you have a wonderful day, even if you do have to unwrap presents and listen to Dorothy and Jordan sing the birthday song and make you blow out candles (don’t forget to wish!) on the birthday dessert you probably only want a single bite of. 😉 All joking aside, I hope you have a fun time with your family! And Dorothy, I’ll gladly take Mel’s share of anything he doesn’t want — especially if it has chocolate or PB. This ice cream looks amazing!! Like, I want to skip lunch at eat 3 bowls of it. Yum! (And I LOVE the ice cream scoop shot!!)

  5. This ice cream sounds fantastic! I love that you don’t even need an ice cream maker for it! I think I would definitely have to have this in the brownie sundae form. 🙂

  6. Oh my goodness, this looks so good. Hope I can restrain myself from eating the whole pan next time I make brownies.

  7. In the unlikely event that any brownies are ever “left over” in this house, this ice cream is what am making with them!! Each time I think you have come up with the best possible ice cream concoction, Dorothy, you come up with an even better one! This looks so good, I will have to make 2 batches of brownies and hide one to make this with!

  8. I’m a total birthday enthusiast as well! Ok has your house seriously been like a ben and jerry’s test kitchen lately? So many awesome ice cream flavors coming my way I don’t know what one to make first! I’m a huge fan of easy ice cream…feel free to keep em coming, Dorothy!

  9. I definitely celebrate Wednesday, and this totally needs to be a part of the party! JUST OMG!!!! I seriousy can’t stop drooling. This is just too perfect! And if Mel can resist, he’s nuts!!!

    PS- HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEL!!! 🙂
