Ingredients
  

No-churn ice cream base
  • 2 cup heavy cream Chill before whipping for best volume.
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter Stir until smooth before mixing.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 2 cup Reese's peanut butter cups, roughly chopped Use chopped cups plus extra chunks if desired.
  • 1 extra chocolate sauce for serving Use as needed for drizzling.

Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer
  • 1 loaf pan

Method
 

Whip and mix
  1. Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks using a stand mixer, until the cream holds tall ridges when the beaters are lifted.
  2. Whisk the sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt together until smooth and glossy.
  3. Gently fold the peanut butter mixture into the whipped cream until just combined, keeping the mousse-like texture and minimizing streaks.
  4. Fold in the chopped Reese's peanut butter cups so the chunks are evenly distributed throughout the pale tan base.
Freeze and serve
  1. Transfer the mixture to a 9x5 loaf pan and smooth the top.
  2. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm enough to scoop and the texture is set throughout.
  3. Drizzle with extra chocolate sauce when serving for a chocolate-peanut butter finish.

Notes

For the smoothest, most scoopable texture, freeze the loaf pan on a level surface and let the ice cream sit 5 minutes at room temperature before scooping. Store leftovers covered in the freezer for up to 2 weeks; freezing beyond that may soften the texture. For a lower-sugar option, swap the sweetened condensed milk with a reduced-sugar version if available, keeping everything else the same.
