PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY ICE CREAM

Return all to the pan, whisking constantly., Cook and stir over low heat until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat; whisk in peanut butter. Quickly transfer to a bowl; place in ice water and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in cream and vanilla. Press waxed paper onto surface of custard. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight., Fill cylinder of ice cream freezer two-thirds full; freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. , When ice cream is frozen, spoon into a freezer container, layering with jelly; freeze for 2-4 hours before serving.

SALTED PB&J ICE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Crust:
• Preheat oven to 275°F. Place crackers in a deep pie dish (a shallower one will work but you may have some filling left over) and gently crush with your hands until you have a mix of dime-size pieces, small crumbs, and everything in between. Add peanuts, brown sugar, and salt and toss to combine. Drizzle in butter and toss to evenly coat. Using your hands and the bottom of a measuring cup, press firmly and evenly into bottom and up sides of dish. (Mixture will look and feel crumbly, but it will hold together when baked.) Bake crust until a shade darker, 20-25 minutes. Let cool.
• Do Ahead: Crust can be baked 3 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature, or freeze up to 1 month.
• Filling and assembly:
• Pour water into a medium saucepan to come 1½" up the sides and bring to a bare simmer over medium-low heat. Whisk eggs, brown sugar, and salt in a large heatproof bowl just to combine (or use the bowl of a stand mixer if you've got one). Set over saucepan (bowl should not touch water) and heat egg mixture, stirring constantly with a heatproof rubber spatula, until sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes (mixture will no longer feel gritty when rubbed between your fingers). If you are concerned about undercooked eggs, heat mixture longer, still stirring constantly, until an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F, about 3 minutes more. Remove bowl from heat and add vanilla to egg mixture. Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed until thick and pale and doubled in volume, about 10 minutes. (Or, if using a stand mixer, beat with the whisk attachment, 6-8 minutes.)
• Using spatula, mix peanut butter in another large bowl to loosen up and smooth out. Stir one third of egg mixture into peanut butter to lighten, then gently fold in half of remaining egg mixture, running spatula down sides and along bottom of bowl, then lifting up through center and over top while rotating bowl, until just combined. Repeat with remaining egg mixture (it will lose a lot of volume, and that's okay).
• Starting on low speed and gradually increasing to medium-high, beat cream in the same bowl you used for egg mixture (no need to wash) until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Gently fold into peanut butter mixture and scrape into crust. Dollop jelly all over; swirl with a butter knife. (For more defined swirls, freeze pie 30 minutes before adding jelly.) Freeze at least 8 hours before serving.
• To slice, run a chef's knife under hot water to warm up the blade, then wipe to clean and dry between slices. Use an offset spatula or fork to loosen slices from dish. If pie is frozen very hard, you may need to let it temper in the fridge 30 minutes before serving.
• Do Ahead: Pie can be made 2 weeks ahead. Wrap tightly and freeze.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SWIRLED ICE CREAM WITH VANILLA COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the ice cream, grape jelly and smooth peanut butter. Gently stir to combine, leaving streaks of jelly and peanut butter throughout the ice cream. Spoon the mixture into 4 dessert bowls. Garnish each bowl with 2 vanilla wafer cookies and various toppings, if so desired.

"ICE CREAM" SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place the peanuts in a small sauté pan and toast over medium-low heat until golden. Sprinkle with sea salt, toss and set aside to cool. Place the peanuts in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Place 6 cookies, flat side up, on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper. Soften the sorbet for about 15 seconds in the microwave, until it's pliable but not defrosted. Place a large scoop of the sorbet on top of each cookie and place a second cookie on top of the sorbet, flat side down. Lightly press down on the top cookie until the sorbet reaches the edge. Roll the edge of the cookies in the chopped peanuts and place in the freezer for about one hour before serving.

PEANUT BUTTER BLONDIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 8-inch baking dishes with the nonstick cooking spray and line them with parchment paper, allowing 1-inch wings to hang over the edges; set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt and baking powder. In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter, vanilla, eggs and 3/4 cup peanut butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula to combine. Divide the mixture between the prepared baking dishes and spread out evenly with a spatula or your hands. Bake until the centers are just set, begin checking for doneness at 23 minutes. Cool in the pans completely.
• While the blondies cool, allow the ice cream to soften at room temperature to a spreadable consistency. Using an offset spatula, spread the ice cream evenly over one pan of the blondies while it's still in the pan. Drizzle on the remaining 1/2 cup peanut butter and use the spatula to swirl it into the ice cream. Place the other blondie on top of the ice cream and freeze until the ice cream is firm, about 4 hours.
• Using the parchment wings, lift the whole thing out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut to trim the edges (if desired, this isn't necessary) and cut it into 1 1/2- to 2-inch squares. Wrap individually in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container and store in the freezer.

PEANUT BUTTER, BANANA, AND JELLY "ICE CREAM"

Steps:

• Cut bananas into 1/2" slices. Arrange in a single layer on a large plate or rimmed baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Purée banana slices in a food processor, scraping down bowl as needed, until mixture becomes creamy, about 3 minutes. Add peanut butter and 3 Tbsp. water; purée until smooth, about 2 minutes more. Drizzle jelly over banana mixture, then pulse a few more times to just incorporate jelly and create a speckled appearance.
• Divide ice cream among serving bowls and serve immediately.
• Do Ahead
• Banana slices can be frozen up to a day in advance.

SPRING HILL RANCH'S PEANUT BUTTER& JELLY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, skim milk powder, and sugar until all of the milk powder has dissolved and no lumps of powder remain. Any remaining sugar granules will dissolve over the heat. Stir in the cream.
• Set the pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly until the mixture just reaches the first bubbles of a boil, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. When the cream mixture is ready, while whisking vigorously, temper the yolks by very slowly pouring in two or three cups of the hot milk-cream mixture. Continue to whisk until the mixture is an even color and consistency, then whisk the egg-yolk mixture back into the remaining milk-cream mixture.
• Return the pan to medium heat and continue cooking the mixture, stirring constantly, until it reaches 170º (coats the back of a spoon), 3 to 5 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat and add the peanut butter and vanilla, whisking vigorously to combine.
• Transfer the pan to your prepared ice bath and let it cool for 15 to 20 minutes, whisking it often to prevent a "skin" from forming. If a few lumps of yolk are there, pour the ice cream base through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a storage container. Cover the container with plastic wrap, right on the surface of the mixture, and refrigerate it for 1 to 2 hours (or overnight) until it is completely cool. The cooler you get it, the quicker it freezes in the ice cream maker. This is important, especially if you will need to process two batches.
• Transfer the cooled base to an ice cream maker and churn it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the ice cream to a storage container, stirring in the chopped peanuts if you are using them. Gently fold in heaping spoonsful of the grape jelly, softly lifting and spinning it throughout the ice cream. Be careful not to over-mix it. Serve immediately or harden it in your freezer for 8 to 12 hours for a more scoopable ice cream.
