Tips for the Creamiest Peanut Butter Ice Cream in Your Ninja Creami

Use regular creamy peanut butter. Brands like Jif or Skippy blend in smoothly. Natural peanut butter can separate and leave oily streaks, so stir it very well if you use it.
Whisk it into a little milk first. Mix the warm peanut butter with about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the milk until smooth. Then whisk that into the rest. This stops hard clumps from forming.
Freeze the base solid in the pint. Pour the liquid base straight into the Ninja Creami pint and freeze it flat for 24 hours. A fully frozen block spins much creamier than a half-frozen one.
Don’t skip the salt. A pinch of salt makes the peanut flavor bold and keeps the ice cream from tasting too sweet.
Swirl, don’t blend, the extra peanut butter. After spinning, drizzle warm peanut butter into a hole in the center and fold it gently so you get ribbons.
Use MIX-IN for crunch. Chopped peanuts, mini peanut butter cups or chocolate chips go in with the MIX-IN setting.

Troubleshooting

Powdery or crumbly: Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of milk and press RE-SPIN. Peanut butter pints often need just one extra spin.
Gritty texture: The sugar did not fully dissolve, or the peanut butter was too cold. Whisk longer and warm the peanut butter a little more.
Greasy feel: Too much peanut butter, or natural peanut butter that split. Stick to 1/2 cup (130 g) in the base and save the rest for swirls.
Flavor is mild: Add another pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter powder. The powder adds strong flavor without extra oil.

Storage and Serving

Store leftover Ninja Creami Peanut Butter Ice Cream in the pint with the lid on, smoothed flat on top. It keeps well for about 2 weeks. It gets firm in the freezer, so RE-SPIN it before serving, or let it sit out for 5 to 10 minutes.

For a fun sundae, top a scoop with hot fudge, chopped peanuts and sliced banana. It also tastes great with a spoon of grape jelly for a peanut butter and jelly twist, or sandwiched between two chocolate cookies.

Peanut Butter Ice Cream FAQ

Can I use crunchy peanut butter?

Yes, but the peanut bits can make the base harder to mix. For the best texture, use creamy in the base and add chopped peanuts with MIX-IN.

Can I make it lighter?

Swap 1 cup of the heavy cream for whole milk. The ice cream will be a bit less rich, so plan on a RE-SPIN with a splash of milk to keep it smooth.

How do I make chocolate peanut butter ice cream?

Whisk 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder into the sugar before adding it to the cream. Then fold in chopped peanut butter cups with MIX-IN for a classic combo.

Can I use powdered peanut butter in Ninja Creami Peanut Butter Ice Cream?

Yes. Powdered peanut butter has less fat, so mix it with a little milk into a paste first. Using half regular and half powdered keeps the ice cream creamy while still tasting very nutty.
