Ingredients

  • 1 quart good quality vanilla ice cream
  • 1/4 cup butter melted (half stick)
  • 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup Nutella

Instructions

  • 1. Set out the ice cream for about 20-30 minutes to soften. When the ice cream is soft, scoop it into a mixing bowl.
  •  2. Meanwhile, in another bowl or stand mixer, (or use a spoon) beat together the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and peanut butter. Combine until smooth. Stick the bowl in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes so that it firms up a little. 
  •  3. Use a 1/4 teaspoon or other small spoon to make little bite size chunks of peanut buttery goodness. You can either plop them right on top of the softened ice cream and throw it in the freezer for 10 minutes, or line them up on a wax-paper lined sheet pan. However you want to do it, freeze or refrigerate them for a bit so they hold their shape. (I didn’t add all of the peanut butter filling to the ice cream. Probably only a little more than half. I ate the rest, oops.)
  •  4. If you haven’t already, add the peanut butter balls to the softened ice cream. Add the 1/3 cup Nutella in small dollops, then use a spoon or knife to swirl it all together. Don’t mix, just swirl. 
  •  5. Transfer the ice cream to a tupperware or other ice cream container. Return the ice cream to the freezer until completely frozen, a couple hours at least. 

Notes

Note: I only used a little more than half of the peanut butter mixture for this recipe. Add as much or as little as you want.
