Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes until it becomes easily spreadable.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, and chocolate chips. Mix thoroughly to create the cookie dough base.
- Warm the peanut butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make it more fluid and easier to mix.
- In a large mixing bowl, fold the softened peanut butter into the softened vanilla ice cream, creating a swirled peanut butter ice cream base.
- Gently fold the oat, sugar, and chocolate chip mixture into the peanut butter ice cream, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
- Serve in chilled bowls and garnish with additional chocolate chips or a drizzle of peanut butter if desired.
Tips
- Let your ice cream soften naturally at room temperature to achieve the perfect mixing consistency - avoid microwaving, which can cause uneven melting.
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the peanut butter and chocolate chips, as they significantly impact the final flavor.
- For extra smoothness, use a silicone spatula when folding ingredients to prevent overmixing and maintain a light texture.
- Chill your serving bowls beforehand to keep the ice cream from melting too quickly.
- If you want a more intense flavor, toast the oats lightly before mixing them into the ice cream for a nutty, caramelized taste.
- Store the ice cream in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain its creamy texture.
