Easy No Churn Peanut Butter Ice Cream
Ever had Ben and Jerry’s peanut butter cup ice cream before? Well, this homemade peanut butter ice cream recipe is even better. It’s made 100% from scratch so you have full control over the ingredients.
I’ve made several ice cream recipes on here before, like my Almond Fudge Ice Cream Recipe or Chocolate Ice Cream. But, if you are a peanut lover like myself, you will appreciate this no churn peanut butter ice cream even more!
Why you’ll love this recipe
- It’s my family’s favorite ice cream flavor!
- It’s full of peanut butter cups!
- Just mix and freeze- no ice cream machine needed
- No Churn ice cream is SO EASY to make!
Ingredients Needed
- Peanut butter: I always use no-stir peanut butter in my recipes to avoid the messy oil-stirring process from natural peanut butter
- Heavy whipping cream: make sure you use cold heavy whipping cream
- Cream cheese: be sure it’s at room temperature. You can use fat-free cream cheese if you prefer.
- Sweetened condensed milk: You can use regular or fat-free sweetened condensed milk.
- Peanut butter cups: I’m using mini cups that are roughly chopped to add some texture.
How to make peanut butter ice cream
- Beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form then set it aside.
- Mix the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and a cup creamy peanut butter in a large bowl until no lumps remain.
- Add the beaten whipped cream and chopped peanut butter cups then fold them into the ice cream mixture.
- Place the ice cream mixture into a large Tupperware bowl or loaf pan. I drizzled some warmed peanut butter over the top for an extra touch.
- Cover and freeze until firm.
Expert Tips
- To make low-fat ice cream, swap 2 containers (8 ounces each) of fat-free Cool Whip for the heavy whipping cream.
- Freeze your ice cream mixture for at least 4 hours, but overnight would be best.
- Add some Hot Fudge for a chocolate swirl.
- Use any mix-ins you like – you could add Reese’s Pieces or chopped peanut butter cookies.
FAQs
Use no-stir peanut butter to help you save time from stirring the natural peanut oils and mess.

I love your mix in choices for this one!! Chocolate covered graham cracker? One of my favorite store bought cookies!
Thanks Shiloh! Mine too!
I definitely need to try this condensed milk ice cream thing. I’m so bad at keeping up with trends. This is on my list, though. We don’t have air conditioning in our house. Luckily, it doesn’t go much over 90 here, but trying to sleep in the heat can be rough. I’m grateful when my electric bill comes, though. Eat more ice cream. You’ll be fine. 😉
I hope so!! I never had A/C growing up, but once you live with it you get so used to being cool. Now I can’t even visit my parents on really hot days. 🙂
Oh, I feel you. I don’t think we get quite as hot in Virginia, but I’m a HUGE baby about the heat. I just can’t take it! I suspect we’ll be in the 90’s most of the time from here on out…and that makes me want to cry in an air-conditioned room 😉 I think this ice cream will make the summer much more bearable!
I’m a horrible baby about it!! Heat, ugh! Thanks Jennifer!
Your ice cream recipes are my favorite because of how easy they are! Seriously, and they are incredible delicious. I mean, peanut butter CHEESECAKE ice cream! Wow. Pinned and already my mouth can imagine the ecstasy it will experience.
Thanks so much Mary Frances!
Must. make. immediately!!! No Safeway stores in our area not in the right state!
