It’s that time of month again when I get to play about with peanut butter and another ingredient. This month I am pairing peanut butter with honey. Because honey is such a delicate flavour I really didn’t want to make a baked treat. Because its summer, ice cream is a favourite around here so this was a no brainer. So let me introduce you to my new favourite dessert, No Churn Honey Peanut Butter Swirl Ice Cream. 🍯🍦😍
No Churn
As the title suggests this is no-churn ice cream, so no ice cream maker is needed and there is no returning to the freezer every 90 minutes to stir and break up ice crystals to enjoy this creamy delicious dessert. Its a simple case of whisking, drizzling, a little stir and that’s it all done, in a few hours you will have a soft, cool creamy dessert for your enjoyment.
Soft scoop
This ice cream will remain pretty soft, even after a long time in the freezer. A lot of that is down to the amount of sugar and fat in this product. Health food this is not. Like most no-churn ice creams this is a basic mix of cream, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla and to flavour it, we have a healthy dose of honey. All this sugar and fat keep this ice cream soft and creamy.
I made a small batch of this no churn honey peanut butter swirl ice cream, but the recipe can easily be doubled if you need it to be.
Honey & Peanut Butter
Honey is the main star of this dessert and because honey is such a delicate flavour at the best of times, there is quite a bit of it in this recipe, 120 millilitres (1/2 cup) mixed into the base itself and then another few teaspoons drizzled on top for the swirly part. I usually prefer mild light honey but I was too afraid the flavour would be lost so I used a darker medium flavoured honey instead.
As mentioned I didn’t want to overpower the honey flavour so all I added was a peanut butter honey drizzle. I microwaved 4 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter for 20 seconds and mixed it with 2 teaspoons of honey. I placed 6 small dollops on top of the unfrozen mix and swirled it in with a pallet knife.

I loveeeee honey and peanut butter together! This ice cream sounds sooo good!! Perfect for all the heat we’ve been having!
I agree Ashley, ice cream is a wonderful way to beat the heat, you do need to eat it kinda fast though to stop it melting all over the place 😉
LOVE no-churn ice cream. Quick, tasty, easy. And IMO turns out better than the traditional kind (unless you have one of those $$$ countertop ice cream freezers). Anyway, this looks great — thanks.
