You don’t need an ice cream maker to make this Creamy Peanut Butter No-Churn Ice Cream!
So here’s the story….
I went to the cupboard. I went to the cupboard with the intent to meet my need for peanut butter.
You know, my favorite peanut butter toast, my weekly ritual (yeah right, weekly!), but much to my surprise – NO PEANUT BUTTER! Whaaaaa?
So I started moving things and throwing things – spices, powdered sugar, vanilla beans, extracts, brown sugar…you get the picture. There was no peanut butter to be found. No Jif hiding in the corner.
It took a minute, but once I came to terms with this sad fact and cleaned the mess and wiped the tears – all I could think about was peanut butter. The mind can be cruel. Though it was a beautiful daydream, and once I got beyond my desire for peanut butter toast, toast made with every kind of bread – whole wheat, white, Italian, rye, raisin cinnamon, pita, bagel, English muffin…
My mind landed on ice cream….
Creamy Peanut Butter No-Churn Ice Cream.
And here we are.
The first time I discovered the ingredients for the base of no-churn I just about fell off my chair. Two ingredients. Two. Heavy whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk. I mean – seriously? And then it’s about the mix-ins and the wait time. There is a basic method for making no-churn that requires as little as a hand mixer and a rubber spatula. Can you mix whipping cream until stiff peaks form? Sure you can. Can you fold sweetened condensed milk in said whipping cream using a rubber spatula? Absolutely you can!
You’re 90% done. Mix-ins, toppings, cones….
You get the picture. This is one delicious ice cream.
And in case you were concerned – I am now the proud owner of two very large containers of creamy peanut butter! 😉
Buon Appetito!

CIAO!
OMGeee I’ve GOT to try it this summer POSTHASTE! Completely dreamy Annie! TWO ingredients… TWO – hello!
YEP! Two ingredients plus whatever else your little heart desires! 🙂
No churn ice cream is truly the best and flavoured with peanut butter EVEN BETTER. I will also be adding all 3 toppings, the peanut butter candies, chocolate bits and sprinkles …going to be a must have… not an option for me ?
I like the way you roll, my friend! 🙂
I get those mad cravings for peanut butter too! So satisfying! And what better way to eat it than swirled into ice cream. This looks amazing, Annie!
So happy to see that I’m not alone! 😉 🙂 Thanks, friend!
Peanut butter is just as important as pasta in my house. It must. always. be. in. stock. I’m dying over that last photo with the swirls! It’s what dreams are made of!
Oh my goodness – that is so true! As important as pasta, parm and garlic! Thanks, friend! 🙂
I don’t believe I’ve ever had peanut butter ice cream AND no churn! I’ll have to rectify that…pinning this to try this summer! Looks wonderful Annie!
Ohhhh, yes you do need to rectify that! You will not be disappointed! I promise! Thanks, friend!
The fact that this cone has PB in it is making me drool even more! Love that gorgeous swirl and this easy ice cream recipe!
It doesn’t get much easier! thank you, Neha!! 🙂
Oh, my goodness, does this ice cream look AMAZING! And I think I have all the ingredients on hand…YES!

You’re singing my tune today!! It’s alwsys a sad day when I run out of pb. The added Reese’s pieces are a great touch ?. Take care.
Having enough peanut butter in the house is one of my favorite songs! Thanks, Stacey!
You had me at peanut butter Annie! Love those swirls in the ice cream! I’m also a huge PB fan, and always make sure I have a stash in my fridge and cupboard. For instance, I’m pretty sure I have 4 different kinds open in my fridge right now! So good 🙂
You are a very wise woman! I need to keep 4 different kinds on hand at all times! 🙂
The same thing happened to me last night–I was out of peanut butter. It’s unprecedented! Maybe someone is stealing pb from people’s cupboards? I’m going to pick up an extra jar today though, so I can make some of this ice cream. It’s just dreamy!
I think you may be on to something! I recommend you get that extra jar! 🙂 Thanks, friend!
Omgoodness! I love no churn and this looks sooo amazing and addicting in the sense, I know I wouldn’t be able to stop. I want that ice cream cone now! 😀
Amazing? Yes. Addicting? Yes. Checks all the right boxes! Thanks, friend!
Yum! So perfect for the weather we’ve been having. And nutritious! What peanut butter lover could resist? Where is that person? Pinned!
Yeahhhh, where is that person? Does that person even exist? Thanks, Milena!
No peanut butter?! What?! Lol! Seriously, though, this ice cream looks creamy dreamy and anything with pb in it gets a big thumbs up from me! Your pics are making me crave ice-cream for breakfast!! Pinned! Have a wonderful week, my friend! XOXO P.S. Glad you rectified the pb situation 😉
I will never go without peanut butter again! (Fist in the air!) 😉 Thank you, friend! PB was in the universe for us last week! 🙂 Have a great day, dear! XOXO
Absolutely perfect and a great way to get that peanut butter fix in the Summer 🙂
Not sure there’s a better way to get that fix, except maybe toast! 😉 Thanks, friend!
This is the type of dessert we simply love!! Can’t beat no-churn plus I can say I’m getting my peanut butter protein along with it. Can’t wait to make a batch!! Have a happy day, my friend.
I know you’re a big fan of no-churn! Thanks, Marisa!
