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.

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.
