Oh, you’re in for a heavenly, sugar-loaded, peanut butter-packed treat! Here’s the FULL RECIPE for Peanut Butter Reese’s Donut Ice Cream—because why stop at just ice cream when we can throw in donuts AND Reese’s?!
Peanut Butter Reese’s Donut Ice Cream
Ingredients
✅ Ice Cream Base:
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
½ cup creamy peanut butter
✅ Mix-Ins:
4 glazed donuts (chopped into small chunks)
1 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (chopped)
½ cup Reese’s Pieces (optional but highly recommended)
¼ cup crushed salted peanuts (for texture)
✅ Peanut Butter Swirl:
½ cup creamy peanut butter (melted)
¼ cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk
✅ Chocolate Drizzle:
½ cup chocolate chips
2 tbsp heavy cream
Instructions
1. Make the Ice Cream Base
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is dissolved.
Add ½ cup peanut butter and whisk until fully incorporated.
Chill the mixture in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).
2. Churn the Ice Cream
Pour the chilled base into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually about 20-25 minutes).
While it’s churning, chop up your donuts, Reese’s cups, and Reese’s Pieces.
3. Prepare the Peanut Butter Swirl
In a small bowl, mix melted peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.
Set aside for swirling later.
4. Prepare the Chocolate Drizzle
Microwave chocolate chips and heavy cream in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
5. Assemble the Ice Cream
Once the ice cream has finished churning, transfer half of it into a freezer-safe container.
Layer in: chopped donuts, Reese’s pieces, Reese’s cups, and drizzle with peanut butter swirl + chocolate drizzle.
Repeat with the remaining ice cream and toppings.
Use a butter knife to gently swirl everything together.
Cover and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.
6. SERVE & DEVOUR
Scoop that masterpiece into a bowl (or straight from the container, no judgment), and top with extra Reese’s, crushed peanuts, or even warm melted peanut butter.
