Rich and creamy ice cream without an ice cream maker? It is possible, with my No-Churn Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream! You won’t believe how easy it is!
If TheBetterHalf had to choose a favorite dessert, it would be chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Our freezer has a pint of chocolate peanut butter Haagen-Daz in it at all times. But up until recently, I had never been able to make him his favorite treat because I don’t have an ice cream maker! I just don’t have room to store it, so it is one appliance I’ve decided I don’t need. But then I discovered no-churn ice cream, and what a dangerous discovery it was.
No-Churn ice cream is so ridiculously easy to make! And you really only need two base ingredients – heavy whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk. So I played around with this perfect no-churn base and came up with No-Churn Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream.
Oh.Wow. This stuff is SO good. It is incredibly rich and creamy, so it is not for the faint of heart. Or those on a diet. But it is SO delicious. After literally 3 bites, I feel totally satisfied. And this is coming from a girl who has been judged by others at Pinkberry for ordering a large. What can I say, I like my frozen treats.
When I was invited by OXO to participate in their #IceCreamforOXO campaign, I was SO excited!! A campaign all about ice cream? Clearly they picked the right girl! They sent me a bunch of fun stuff for my ice cream making adventure.

Rich and creamy chocolate peanut butter ice cream without an ice cream maker? Yep, I would say that this #IceCreamforOXO campaign was quite a success in my kitchen!

Rich and creamy ice cream without an ice cream maker? It is possible, with my No-Churn Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream! You won't believe how easy it is!
Ingredients
- 1 pint heavy cream
- 1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 4 oz chocolate, finely chopped then melted (I use Ghirardelli Bittersweet
)
- 1/2 cup mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (I used JIF extra crunchy)
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip cream to stiff peaks, about 3 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the melted chocolate and the sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, and keep folding until fully incorporated. Fold in the Reese's.
- Pour half of the ice cream mixture into a loaf pan. Heat the peanut butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds, until very soft and almost liquid. Spoon half of the peanut butter over the first half of the ice cream, then gently swirl it into the ice cream with the tip of a butter knife. Pour the rest of the ice cream on top. Spoon the rest of the peanut butter on top and gently swirl it into the ice cream.
- Cover the loaf pan tightly with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 4- 6 hours.

Thanks, Zainab! Hope you’re having a nice weekend!
My son’s favorite ice cream is also chocolate / peanut butter ice cream. He loves the “wawa” brand – maybe your “better-half” can try it out sometime and see what he thinks – love your blog!!!
What is it with boys and chocolate peanut butter ice cream?! Thanks, Linda!
This is so awesome, Cate! I have always wanted an ice cream maker, but don’t have the space for it as well. There is just no way I can store another appliance at the moment, haha. But this is great, I’m totally going to try this ice cream base! And I love how you swirled the peanut butter into the ice cream with mini Reese’s. So yum! 🙂
Thanks, Beth! This is the perfect recipe if you don’t have an ice cream maker!
Oh wow…how amazing does this look?! This recipe is seriously dangerous…
It is SO dangerous!!! Way too easy and way too delicious!
sounds good! love the fact that it’s no churn 🙂
Thanks, Sarah!! the no-churn aspect is so fun!
Um, talk about gorgeous! Cate, you totally understand how chocolate + peanut butter should be–blissfully combined. I could pretty much eat the whole batch of this!
Amy it was hard to stop myself from eating the whole batch!!!
Wow! I never knew you could make ice cream without an ice-cream maker! I can’t wait to try some concontions of my own, perfect for this scorching summer heat!
Thanks, Hailey! I’m so glad I discovered no-chrun ice cream. This is going to make this summer much more fun!
I am a sucker for ice cream especially when it looks this incredible! I could never resist chocolate and peanut butter together and love that it’s no churn too!
Thanks, Kelly! Chocolate and PB are definitely irresistible!
The Better Half has excellent taste! Creamy cold and peanut butter were made to be in the same sentence together. Adding chocolate to the mix – of course! No churn is becoming my best friend too. I did a lot with the ice cream maker last year and just don’t have the time this year. *sigh* This recipe rocks, Cate, thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Mary Frances!! You are so sweet!
I love no-churn ice cream — it’s unbelievably easy and SO good! This flavor combination is delicious, Cate — I’d be all over it!

You are going to love this no-churn ice cream, Meriem. And the flavor combos are endless, I can’t wait to try out other varieties!
