I love peanut butter ice cream! After coffee ice cream, it’s definitely my second favorite, and the Ninja Creami makes it super easy to create a smooth, homemade version.
For this recipe, I wanted to keep things high-protein and low in sugar. I've already experimented with Butterfinger Flavor, Pistachio Ice Cream, Matcha Ice Cream, Coffee Maple Ice Cream, Acai Ice Cream, Vanilla Ice Cream, and of course, Chocolate Ice Cream—but peanut butter is a classic that deserves its own spotlight!
