Frozen Chocolate Custard with Peanut Butter Ripple

Guys, this frozen custard was so delicious!! Super creamy with a rich chocolate taste, marbled with just the right amount of peanut butter.  This is not a No-Churn recipe, so you'll need an ice cream mixer but it's totally worth it.  I was sneaking bites of it right and left while it was churning- I couldn't help myself! It's every bit as good as the stuff you get at Culver's!  I have a feeling we're going to be making this a TON this Summer!

Frozen Chocolate Custard with Peanut Butter Ripple
yield: 1 quart

Ingredients:
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 TBSP Pure Vanilla Extract
1 cup Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate chips
1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
1/2 cup peanut butter
Dash of salt

Directions:
Add egg yolks, sugar, salt, and Cocoa Powder to a medium saucepan and whisk until fluffy and well combined. Whisk in the milk.  Cook, whisking frequently over Medium-Low heat until it reaches 165º F, but do not allow it to come to a boil.  If you don't have a food thermometer you can check doneness by dipping a spoon in the mixture.  The custard should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and leave a clear line if you run your finger down it.  As soon as it reaches the correct temperature, remove it from the heat and stir in Vanilla and Chocolate Chips.  Whisk until chocolate is completely melted, then pour through a fine mesh strainer into an air tight container.   Store in the refrigerator until it chills to 65º F (about 3-4 hours, or overnight).  The longer the custard base chills, the creamier your ice cream will be!

Once the custard base is ready, stir in the heavy cream and pour it into your ice cream maker and process according to your ice cream maker’s instructions.
Meanwhile, place peanut butter in a microwave safe dish and microwave on high for 30 seconds.

Scoop half of the frozen custard into a container or bread pan and smooth out.  Drizzle with half of peanut butter. Spread the rest of the custard onto the top and drizzle with remaining peanut butter.  Use a butter knife to swirl the peanut butter into the custard.  

Cover and freeze overnight or a minimum of 4 hours.  Scoop and enjoy!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
