Have you made no churn ice cream before? If not, you'll be surprised at how easy it is to make a batch at home today. Some of our favorite flavors include strawberry jam ice cream and butter pecan ice cream.

Peanut butter ice cream is made with just three ingredients that are easy to find at your local grocery store, plus you don't need an ice cream maker or any fancy kitchen appliances - just a hand mixer.

Peanut butter lovers will love this creamy, sweet ice cream recipe. Not only is it flavored with peanut butter, but extra peanut butter is melted and drizzled as a ribbon throughout the ice cream.

Ingredients and substitutions

Ingredients for ice cream on a counter top.
  • Sweetened condensed milk - Necessary as the base of your ice cream. Sweetened condensed milk adds sweetness and creaminess. Homemade or store bought sweetened condensed milk will work in this recipe.
  • Peanut butter - Can be substituted with your favorite nut or seed butter, like almond butter or sunflower butter, for a different flavor.
  • Heavy cream - Necessary to make no churn ice cream. Heavy cream, or heavy whipping cream, is whipped and folded with the other ice cream ingredients to make a fluffy, aerated base.

Variations

Mixing ingredients together in a glass bowl and pouring into a loaf pan.

Want to add extra to your peanut butter ice cream? Here are a few of my favorite mix-in variations:

  • Chopped Reese's peanut butter cups
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Chocolate peanut butter shell - use to top your ice cream or add as a crunchy chocolate layer in the middle.
  • Crumbled chocolate cookies
  • Strawberry jam - to make peanut butter and jelly ice cream.
  • Crushed peanuts

Frequently asked questions

What size pan do I need?

A 9x5 loaf pan is the ideal size for this no churn ice cream recipe. However, any freezer safe container will work. Try using a large tupperware container with a tightly sealing container.

How long does it take to freeze no churn ice cream?

This depends on the temperature of your freezer. It takes my freezer about 4 to 5 hours to freeze ice cream, but it could take as long as 8 hours, or overnight.

How long does no churn ice cream last?

In ideal conditions, your homemade ice cream will keep for up to three months in a tightly sealed, freezer safe container.

I'm allergic to peanuts, can I use other nut butters?

Yes! This recipe works with almond butter and other nut and seed butters. Use a nut or seed butter that you enjoy the taste of because that's exactly what your ice cream will taste like.

    I’ve made this before, but thought I’d try it with Trader Joe’s cookie butter instead of peanut butter this time, also crushing up TJ’s Speculoos cookies to layer into it. It is amazing! My husband, who doesn’t typically care for sweets said it’s incredible, so it must be, right? Thank you for this recipe!
