peanut butter ice cream

If you like peanut butter, you have to give this recipe a try.

Da and I had run out of homemade ice cream and I was undecided what type of ice cream to make next. Da requested for durian ice cream but we did not have any durian at home. I wanted to make strawberry ice cream as I had recently bought a bottle of strawberry essence but we did not have any fresh strawberries at home either.

The thought of cookies and cream called out to me but I have already made mocca ice cream and I wanted to try something different.

Crunchy peanut butter came to the rescue.
