Time 25m

Yield About 1 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
2/3 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
6 large egg yolks
1 cup natural smooth peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

In a small pot, simmer heavy cream, milk, sugar and salt until sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly whisk about a third of the hot cream into the yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream.
Return pot to medium-low heat and gently cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer).
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Whisk in peanut butter and vanilla extract. Cool mixture to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Serve directly from the machine for soft serve, or store in freezer until needed.
