If still, after creating this concoction, I am not called a genius, I swear I`ll quit making ice cream. Actually, no, I`m kidding. :) This is hands down the BEST ice cream flavor I could ever come up with. And a big bonus is he fact that you need absolutely no weird ice cream machine to do this. Just a mixer, some bowls and a spoon. Get ready for Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Chunk Nutella Swirl Ice cream. Ben&Jerry would be jealous, don`t you think? They would surely hire me!
I`ll just skip the usual descriptive essay about the amazing flavor of this ice cream. It is only two things I want to mention:
1. The ingredients can be found anywhere, very easy and they are not expensive.
2. You will not believe how easy this is.
Buy or bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies. Either you bake them or not, be sure to add A LOT of chocolate chips to them.I used about 150 gr of cookies. Mine are 30-40% chocolate chips. Place them in a bag and bash them with something heavy. Just like in the picture , leave some chunks bigger than the others, so you feel the texture in your ice cream. Set aside as well.
First step is to prepare are your ingredients and have them ready. Take some Peanut Butter. Now, you can use chunky or creamy, whatever you prefer, but I like some pieces of peanut here in there in my ice cream. You need to measure 4 heaping(!) teaspoons like the one in the first picture. Or, 4 leveled tablespoons. Then, you do the same way with your Nutella, which you will place in a wider bowl, because later you`ll need to combine it with the ice cream base.
Set aside.
Next up is to make the ice cream base, which couldn`t be easier: Whip 400 ml. of cold(!) whipping cream/double cream (whatever you call it) until stiff peaks (image 1 and 2 above). Then, add 400 ml. sweetened condensed milk (if you can`t find condensed milk, you can make you own by boiling together 400 ml of evaporated milk with 150 gr of sugar on very low heat for about 30 minutes or until it is reduced by half, let it cool). The sweetened condensed milk has to be form the fridge as well, you want everything cold. The ice cream base is ready, from here on you can add whatever you like. At this point, put about 1/2 cup of the base in the bowl with Nutella and mix it well (image down, on the right side). Set side. Then dump your chocolate chip cookie chunks in there and fold `em in.
Last step is to place your mixture in a plastic container, and swirl the Nutella mixture on top. See left image above. Store in the freezer for at least 4 hours. I know, waiting is the worst part, but when you take a bite out of that creamy, velvety bliss of an ice cream, you`ll forget about everything. It is like foodgasm, I swear. Even my mom said so! It is just as creamy as a regular ice cream made with an ice cream machine, but maybe even better. Try it yourself and tell me how it was. :)
