Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Ice Cream

Instructions

PEANUT HEMP CREAMER

1. Add the peanuts and hemp to the filter basket and attach to the Almond Cow top.
2. Fill your collector cup with 500mL water and place into Almond Cow base.
3. Attach Almond Cow top to base and press the cow button to run the machine.

ICE CREAM

1. Add all ingredients except peanut butter and optional mix-ins to blender and blend until smooth

BLENDER METHOD:
2. Pour mixture into ice cube trays and transfer to the freezer overnight.
3. When ready, blend ice cubes in a high-speed blender until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary. (If you do not have a high-powered blender we recommend letting the ice cream cubes sit out just until they start to slightly soften, this will help them blend better into ice cream)
4. Pour ice cream into a loaf tin (or something easy to scoop out of) and fold in optional mix-ins then fold in the peanut butter being careful not to overmix.
5. Place ice cream back in freezer to set for about 1 hour, then scoop, serve, and enjoy!

NINJA CREAMI METHOD:
2. Pour liquid into your Creami pints (you'll need 2 pint containers for this recipe) and freeze for 16 hours
3. Attach pints to your Creami and process with the "Ice Cream" setting.
4. Remove the pint container from the Creami and add desired mix ins, then reattach to the Creami and run the "Mix-In" setting.
5. Fold in the peanut butter (1/8 cup peanut butter/pint) with a spoon to get a nice distinct swirl and enjoy!

TRADITIONAL ICE CREAM MACHINE:
2. Assemble your ice cream maker per manufacturer's instructions
3. Pour liquid into your machine's ice cream bowl and churn until liquid develops a thick custard-like consistency
4. Add optional mix ins and continue to churn for another minute or two so they're well mixed in.
5. Transfer to a loaf pan or ice cream container, fold in the peanut butter and store in freezer until ready to eat!

NOTE: you can add 2 1/4 tsp cacao and 1 tbsp sweetener to the left over creamer to turn it into a delicious protein-rich creamer for your coffee!
