Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Homemade Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. Perfect for your peanut butter lover. from #dietersdownfall.comDessert “Turducken” – Day Two – Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

My husband is a Peanut Butter freak. He ate nothing but peanut butter sandwiches for lunch all though middle school. He loves peanut butter desserts and has been the cause of most of the PB and Chocolate desserts on the blog.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream - The best hing since sliced bread! from #dietersdownfall.comI’m still playing with light and my photography. I wanted to open up with my light and dark backgrounds and experiment a bit more with them.

When I started this blog, the idea was to be sexy desserts that you would eat with your significant other and just have a pure love affair with the dessert.  I tried to capture this feeling by using dark colors that evoke a feeling of richness, sensuality, and pleasure.

With that in mind, take a look at the photo below.

Peanut Butter Ice Cream with mini chocolate chips and PB magic shell topping. from #dietersdownfall.comWhich photo makes you feel like you’re going to have an experience with the ice cream?

For me, it’s definitely the darker photo. It makes me feel like it’s night-time. It’s dark and secret and I’m gonna settle down with a good movie or book and enjoy this ice cream without my kid demanding another scoop.

What do you think? I’d love to hear how the photos make you feel.

Go on and indulge! This peanut butter chocolate chip ice cream is just what you're craving. from #dietersdownfall.comThis one is just supposed to make you feel happy.

Happy for sharing an ice cream cone with a friend while catching up and enjoying a laugh.

Happiness while experiencing a moment of friendship or peace with your kids while enjoying the pleasure of delicious homemade ice cream and great company. Enjoy the little things in life and share them with someone you love.

    My husband is a peanut butter fiend as well and I know he will dive head first into this gorgeous ice cream! I’m definitely partial to darker backgrounds for photos but I also love your lighter one (and the happy one)!

    What a fantastic recipe! Cannot wait to try it. Popping by from the artsy fartsy bloghop! I prefer the picture with the lighter background – it just feels extra cold and delicious with the marble backdrop. Emma x

    This is funny because you are totally right the darker picture makes me feel like the cone is made just for me! No kids involved….the lighter seems a lot less serious and more of a normal day. Either one the ice cream looks Amazing!

      I love mine. The downside is the space it takes up in the freezer when it’s not in use. But I really don’t like the consistency of no-churn ice cream.

    YES PLEASE! I will have two scoops just like that! Peanut butter and chocolate is so, so good, and I’ve been wanting to try another flavor other than vanilla! Thanks for sharing this! Pinning!

    To answer your question, my favorite is the last photo 🙂 It makes me want to eat the top scoop before it falls off – lol.

    I love this ice cream with reese’s peanut butter cups mixed in (I use about 9 regular cups or 21 minis), but I’ve also read about bloggers mixing in hot fudge sauce, white chocolate peanut butter cups (Nigella’s recipe), or Oreos (gotta try that!). I just use eggbeaters instead of raw eggs.

    Ironically, my husband doesn’t like peanut butter desserts, and I LOVE them, though lately I’ve realized that’s not such a bad thing… I just make him a different flavor or dessert to enjoy, and then I get the whole batch to myself 🙂

    As far as dieting, this kind of food motivates me to exercise and stay healthy so I can keep eating it and never have to go on a restrictive diet – oh yeah!!!

      Thanks for the feedback on the photos. It’s all about setting the mood, isn’t it? MY husband and I love PB desserts – him more so. I guess there’s more for you when you do make it 🙂

    You don’t have to cook this. I’m totally new to making ice cream. Haven’t tried it yet but have just been looking at recipes. Going to shop toady and make tomorrow.

      A “cooked” ice cream starts with a creme anglaise base. The base is cooked and then cooled. This has no cooking step involved, but you do need an electric ice cream maker.

    Yum! is all I can say! I absolutely love all things PB and chocolate. And I’m a photographer so I love the dark photo because of the contrast and I love the happy photo because it reminds me of our summers going down to our local ice cream shop when it’s always super hot and trying to eat our ice cream really fast before it melts as we stroll along the beach walk. We are expecting our ice cream maker to be delivered tomorrow and we are definitely making this first!
