 In case you haven't guessed, I love cooking. A while back I did a post for Meg of Queenie take Manhattan about my favorite home made ice cream. Well that recipe has been trumped my friends.
I bring you: 

Elvis Ice Cream

It's easy as pie...errr ice cream to make. Usually the ice cream recipes I follow are egg based and extremely tedious. I found this one and with all of four ingredients it was amazing. It is now the reigning king of ice creams in my house. Here's the How-To:

Elvis Ice Cream
1 cup peanut butter (Crunchy or Creamy is up to you. I did halfsies)

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 cup milk

1  1/3 cups heavy cream

2 tsp vanilla extract (Make your own, it's crazy easy and so cheap in the long run)

Half a banana, chopped

1/2 to 1 cup of chocolate chips (up to you how chocolatey you want it)

Combine the peanut butter and sugar until smooth. Add the milk. Blend on low speed until smooth and the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and the vanilla. Chill in the fridge for a few hours.


Put mixture in your ice cream maker and stir for 20 minutes, during the last five add the banana and chocolate chips. I have a Kitchen Aid ice cream maker attachment and very rarely is it thick ice cream after 20 minutes. At that point I put it in a tupperware container and freeze it overnight and then it turns into this:




It's seriously awesome. For the ultimate Elvis experience serve it on a waffle.
