It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a recipe from and in turn someone else will be assigned your blog. All you have to do is choose a recipe, make it and blog about it on the specified date. The only rule is to keep it a secret! If you are interested in learning more, or want to join the club, please visit the Secret recipe club website.
This month’s assignment was yet another total discovery as it was completely new to me. I am so happy when I get the opportunity to get to know another great blogger! This time it was Desiree of SteakNPotatoesKindaGurl! Desiree blogs out of Cincinnati – Ohio and she has a wonderful blog. I loved so many of her recipes, but when I saw her peanut butter ice cream, I knew I had found THE ONE. I had never eaten peanut butter ice cream before, so I was very intrigued. I have to say I was totally impressed. Actually, I fell in love with the taste and texture of this ice cream. I loved the contrasts: sweet, but not overly, nutty and a little salty. It is perfect. Not only… it is really quick to make. The original recipe calls for half-and-half, as we don’t have it in Australia, I used half milk and half cream. If you use cream, like I did, do not blend it with the rest of the ingredients or it will curdle. Manually whisk it in at the end, just before chilling the mixture. I served this delicious peanut butter ice cream with my home-made chocolate syrup and some toasted peanuts… and I HIGHLY recommend these toppings as they take this ice cream to a whole new level! Try it and you will thank me! 😉
Thank you so much for an amazing recipe Desiree! Please, make sure you drop by Desiree at SteakNPotatoesKindaGurl and check out her beautiful site!

This looks delicious! Especially with all that chocolate sauce on top!
Mmm this peanut butter ice cream is bringing back great memories… glad you liked it! So cool you’re from Australia!! I love your chocolate syrup and toasted peanuts topping too 🙂
Peanut butter ice cream is my hands-down favorite. I went to college at Penn State where they have a world famous creamery right on campus – their vanilla ice cream with peanut butter swirl is to die for. Look forward to making this version!
Two wonderful things – ice cream and peanut butter and all put into one great recipe – my mouth is officially watering. Nice SRC pick!
This looks great! Peanut butter ice cream with homemade chocolate sauce sounds wonderful to me. Thanks for sharing!
You had me at peanut butter 🙂 Always!
I am crazy for peanut butter…An ice cream made from it is dangerous stuff. I could eat several scoops of it and come for more. 🙂 But, of course, you had to outdo yourself pouring this decadent chocolate fudge sauce on top. You are such a bad girl, Manu! Luck you that you live so far from me.
you can’t go wrong with peanut butter….or ice cream! yum! what a great SRC pick.
Stunning photos! I especially love the one that appeared on FoodGawker…what a great shot. Actually, it all looks delicious. Can’t wait to try it (with chocolate sauce, of course) sometime soon!
