This Peanut Butter Brownie Ice Cream Recipe is made without an ice cream maker. It’s full of chewy brownie chunks and peanut butter flavor. Making no churn ice cream at home is delicious and easy – and so good with peanut butter and brownies!
No Churn Peanut Butter Brownie Ice Cream
Out of all of my no-churn ice cream recipes, this is the one that I find myself re-making. And it’s not only because it’s so easy to put together, all of my no-churn ice cream recipes are easy. That’s the beauty of homemade ice cream without a machine.
Surprisingly, I had some leftover brownies and was craving a cold dessert. And if you’re a regular reader here, then you know how much I love peanut butter. But I love chocolate peanut butter even more. There’s just something terrific about the two flavors when combined.
That’s where this delicious peanut butter fudge ice cream comes in. A mind-blowing, drool-inspiring, machine-free ice cream. Serve it in a cone, a cup, or on top of a brownie with homemade chocolate sauce.
Ingredients
- Sweetened condensed milk: no need to add any sugar since this milk is sweet enough. I like to use the fat-free kind but use any kind you like.
- Vanilla: vanilla extract adds an incredible depth of flavor to any sweet treat
- Peanut butter: natural peanut butter should be okay once it’s fully mixed but I always use Skippy Naturals, which is more “natural” but is no-stir.
- Cool Whip: regular, light, or fat-free. Or use freshly whipped cream.
- Brownies: baked and cooled brownies. You can use a brownie mix or store-bought brownies for this.

This ice cream sounds AMAZING!! Any ice cream with PB and brownies is one that I must make! And such easy preparation. Definitely pinning!
Thanks for this post! I made this following the instructions except I used 2 cups of heavy cream and beat it with egg beaters for about 4 minutes — instead of the cool whip. I used her “one-bowl” brownies recipe and put chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups on top. Let it sit in the freezer over night and – voila! Delicious ice cream by morning! I can’t believe how easy it was. The ice cream is VERY rich – and probably it would be less so with the cool whip instead of heavy cream. But very delicious. Thanks Dorothy!
I’m glad you liked it! Yes, its super thick ice cream – high fat content, ha! But in ice cream fat=good! 🙂
quick question – how many people does this recipe serve? Thanks.
I would say about 6-8 depending on how much you serve each person.
Happy Birthday to your hubby! Love love this ice cream! Peanut butter and brownie chunks – yes, please!
This looks so good! Love that it doesn’t need an ice cream machine either.
PS What did you end up making for his birthday? -nosey and curious-
