Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Add the chocolate to a medium saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chocolate melts and is smooth. Add the cocoa powder and stir into the chocolate. While stirring, add the milk and continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is completely incorporated. Keep warm while preparing the next step.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and sugar with a mixer on medium speed. Add the hot chocolate mixture into the eggs and mix well. Add the cream and vanilla and beat until all the ingredients are blended.

Let the mixture cool completely to room temperature (do not put in the refrigerator).

Place the peanut butter in a bowl. When the chocolate mixture is completely cool, stir one cup of it into the peanut butter. Mix well until combined.

Stir the peanut butter mixture into the rest of the chocolate then pour it all into the ice cream machine.

Process the ice cream as instructed by your machine manufacturer. Store the ice cream in the freezer.
