Reese’s Ice Cream . . .  a creamy peanut butter base loaded with chunks of peanut butter cups and peanut butter swirl. This ice cream recipe is perfect for peanut butter lovers!

Lately I have been on a peanut butter kick. Not sure why, but I just can’t get enough of it! This peanut butter cup ice cream definitely satisfies any peanut butter craving.

Not only does it have peanut butter in the base, it has swirls of peanut butter throughout. Top it all off with Reese’s peanut butter cups, and you have one decadent peanut butter treat!

Peanut butter actually makes the ice cream extra creamy and keeps it from getting as hard as other homemade ice creams I’ve made.

I used creamy peanut butter this time around, but chunky would work too.

Guys, I can’t even tell you how amazing this ice cream turned out. Every single bite is rich, creamy, and purely decadent. I love my ice cream loaded with goodies, and this Reese’s ice cream totally fits the bill!

You do need an ice cream maker for this recipe, and I LOVE mine. It requires no ice or salt, so it takes all the hassle out of making ice cream. It’s a Cuisinart, and you can see it HERE.

I actually have two canisters, and I keep one in the freezer all year long so we can make homemade ice cream at the drop of a hat. You just never know when the ice cream craving will strike!

If you happen to be a peanut butter lover, trust me, you need to make this ice cream!
