PEANUT FREE PEANUT BUTTER ICE CREAM

PEANUT FREE PEANUT BUTTER ICE CREAM
This is what I was told about this ice cream recipe~~
“This is the best and creamiest ice cream we have made in our ice cream machine yet. It is absolutely delicious. It tastes a lot like a very popular candy bar that is chocolate with peanut butter in it. Only, there is NO peanut butter in our recipe because my husband is allergic to peanuts. If there is no peanut allergy in your home, you could substitute Peanut Butter for the Sunbutter. You would never know the difference though, as sunbutter tastes so much like peanut butter. We had to go easy on the sugar because he is also diabetic.”
1/3 cup sunbutter
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup sugar or splenda
1/2 cup brown sugar
8 large egg yolks
1 pinch salt
1 quart half-and-half
2 tsp vanilla
Beat 8 egg yolks with half of the sugar and set aside
Heat one quart of half and half over medium heat till nearly boiling.
Add the remaining ingredients (Cocoa, Sunbutter, remainder of sugars, salt and vanilla) and stir till well mixed. Add a cup of hot mixture to egg yolks very slowly, while stirring to temper. Be careful so it is just hot and not boiling, so not to scramble eggs…Then stir the egg mixture back into the pot of hot milk mix slowly, while stirring and continue to stir until it thickens to a custard texture. Remove from heat and cool pan in bowl of iced water till mixture is cool.
Place in ice cream freezer and process until frozen.
NOTE: You can also substitute more of the sugar with sweetener if you want. And substitute the Sunbutter with Peanut Butter if no one in your family has peanut allergies.
