Recipe for tonight's chocolate peanut butter ice cream -->
Invented this recipe myself, and it turned out to be very good.2 eggs
3/4 C. sugar
1 C. Whipping cream
2 C. Half and Half
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate
1 oz. semi sweet baking chocolate
2 *heaping* teaspoons cocoa powder.
1-2 heaping teaspoons of peanut butter.Melt baking chocolate in a double boiler. Add 1 C. of Half and Half and mix well. Add the cocoa and continue to stir over heat. Add 1 to 2 heaping tsp. of creamy peanut butter and stir until melted in. When smooth, remove from heat and let stand. Whisk the eggs well. Add the sugar to the eggs and whisk fast for a couple minutes. Add the cream to the eggs and stir. Add the vanilla and 1 C. of Half and Half. Stir some more. Finally, once the chocolate is cooled somewhat, stir that in and whisk well. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator 3+ hours. Freeze in an ice cream machine per instructions. It takes mine about 25 minutes to firm up. Eat some out of the middle of the freezer right away. Scrape the remainder (should be fairly stiff) into a container, cover and freeze for later. Mmmm Mmmm. Everyone here liked it. We'll probably polish off the rest after the kids hit the sack.
