Cost 5
Ingredients
- ½ cup allulose powder, generous (I used the weight) (110 grams)
- 3 tablespoons sugar (36 grams)
- ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
- 3 tablespoons nonfat milk powder (24 grams)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup, maple syrup or corn syrup (40 grams)
- 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk (70 grams)
- 2 ¾ cups whole milk (660 grams)
- ⅓ cup heavy cream (80 grams)
- ⅓ cup peanut butter, sweetened (Jif) (85 grams)
- ½ cup peanut powder, weight depends on brand (40 grams)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon vodka (14 grams)
Add-Ins
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter for swirling
- ¼ cup cocktail peanuts
Instructions
- In a bowl with a spout, mix together the allulose, sugar, xanthan gum, milk powder, salt, syrup, eggs and ½ cup of the milk.
- Pour remaining milk and cream in a saucepan and heat until mixture begins to simmer.
- Gradually whisk the hot mixture into the egg mixture, then pour it all back into the saucepan.
- Stir constantly until mixture thickens slightly and a thermometer reads 180 degrees F.
- Remove from heat and pour hot mixture into a blender container. Add peanut butter, and peanut butter powder. Let mixture cool for 10 minutes, then blend for 1 minute.
- Pour the peanut butter mixture into a heavy duty freezer bag and submerge in ice water for about 30 minutes to quick cool.
- Once cool, set the bag in an empty bowl or something to contain it and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until very cold.
- When ready to churn, add 1 tablespoon of vodka to the freezer bag. Close it and shake it up a little just to mix. Alternatively, you can put it all back in the blender, but mixing in the freezer bag seem to be fine.
- Following the ice cream maker’s directions, churn the ice cream.
- While the ice cream is churning, put a tablespoon of peanut butter in a small custard cup and heat on low power in the microwave to soften. Note: If you want to keep the peanut butter soft you can mix in a little golden syrup, maple syrup or oil. Let cool slightly.
- As you spoon the ice cream into whatever container you've chosen, drop little spoonfuls of softened peanut butter in. For a slightly more decadent ice cream, stream in some melted milk or dark chocolate.
- Freeze until firm.
