To Die For Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 egg yolks
• 0.75 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup peanut butter, or to taste

Steps

1. Stir milk, heavy cream, sugar, and cocoa powder together in a saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, until sugar and cocoa powder have dissolved, about 5 minutes.
2. Beat egg yolks in a bowl with an electric mixer until thick and pale yellow, about 4 minutes. Stir about 1/2 cup of cocoa mixture into egg yolks, whisking constantly.
3. Pour egg yolk mixture into cocoa mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Pour cocoa mixture into a bowl.
4. Place chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave in 20-second intervals until warm, stirring until chocolate chips are melted. Stir melted chocolate and vanilla extract into cocoa mixture until just combined. Refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.
5. Freeze chocolate mixture in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Drop peanut butter by spoonfuls into ice cream. Using a knife, fold peanut butter through ice cream to form ribbons of peanut butter throughout.
