Dulce de Leche Peanut Butter Ice Cream with salted peanuts is a delightful farewell to the summer.
Hello, everyone! I hope you are prepared (Emotionally) for autumn. Cause Mother Nature doesn’t ask us if we are ready for a season change, and Ms. Autumn is literally around the corner. Do you hear her knocking on the door? Wait, Autumn. Not yet. We still have a couple of days to enjoy some summer treats.
And I do believe this smooth and rich ice cream would be a perfect dessert to celebrate the end of this summer. Don’t get it wrong, my friends. The ice cream season is all year round in our house. However, we mostly enjoy store-bought ice cream during cold months. While I am not going to use my ice cream maker as often as during summer, I have a couple of seasonal ideas, so I am not rushing to pack it.
More Dulce De Leche Ice Cream
As you might know, I am a huge fan of dulce de leche (Does anyone else eat it just straight from the jar?), and that’s one of my favourite ice cream flavors. Do you need proof? Well, let’s count:
Dulce De Leche Bailey’s Ice Cream
I do love all the above-mentioned combinations except, probably, the marriage of coconut and dulce de leche; it was a bit strange to my liking. I am so happy that we’ve got this delightful Dulce de Leche Peanut Butter Ice Cream in this collection. Are you?
Funny enough, every time I think that I run out all possible dulce de leche combinations, and I won’t be able to generate anything else. But I know I can always rely on you; you will always share some more awesome ideas, won’t you? :)
And I promise to share this Dulce de Leche Peanut Butter Ice Cream in return for your kindness.
I hope you like this recipe, and you will give it a try soon. If you make it, let me know in this post or send me an Instagram message or share you photos adding the hashtag #havocinthekitchen.
Cheers!

Dulce de Leche Peanut Butter Ice Cream with salted peanuts is a delightful, rich, and smooth treat.
Ingredients
2 cups (450 ml.) heavy (whipping or 35%) cream
1 1/2 cups (375 ml.) whole milk
5 egg yolks
1 cup (250 gr.) dulce de leche
1/2 cup (about 125 gr.) peanut butter, smooth or chunky
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup (75 gr.) toasted and salted peanuts, chopped
Directions
- Using a medium saucepan, add the heavy cream and milk; stir until well combined.
- Place over medium-low heat and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, using a separate heat-proof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks with dulce de leche and peanut butter until smooth.
- Once the cream and milk mixture begins to simmer, pour half into the bowl with the eggs, whisking vigorously while you pour to prevent eggs from scrambling (this method is called “tempering”).
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.
- Once the custard mixture has thickened, remove from heat and add the vanilla extract; stir until well combined.
- Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer (Just in cases there’s any small pieces of cooked egg) into a container. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic directly onto the surface of the mixture, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
- Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s directions. It usually takes around 25 minutes. When ice cream is almost done churning, add the chopped peanuts.
- Transfer ice cream into a freezer-safe container and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours to harden.
Hi – I’m Ben, a blogger, recipe developer, and food photographer. I’m glad you’re here! I hope you will enjoy hundreds of delicious recipes and a pinch of havoc in the kitchen.
So into dulce de leche ! Thank you for this one !
Do looking forward to fall this year! I love your ice cream creations, Ben. And, as usual, this dulce de leche version looks heavenly!
I’m sad that we are saying farewell to summer Ben, but what better way than with this dulce de leche peanut butter ice cream. And with the addition of those salted peanuts this ice cream is so decadent. You would have loved the selection of fresh homemade icecreams that were available for dessert in our hotel in Zanzibar Ben. So many to choose from. I know you would have been noteing them down to re-make when you got home! :-)
See, the thing is I was totally prepared for fall. I love it. But here in Newfoundland the weather seemed to go from warm to cold overnight. I love fall, but I can’t stand it too cold and the moisture in the air makes it that much more bone-chillingly-cold. Know what I mean? Anywho – I guess I’ll just have to put away my open-toed shoes and break out the boots :) No matter how cold it gets, I could always, always, go for ice-cream and you’ve hit the ball out of the park with this one Ben. Ain’t no way I’m stopping at one scoop of this beauty :)
You know, I don’t think I’ve ever looked forward to fall as much as I am this year. It’s been a very stormy summer so I’m excited to see more even weather. And I have to agree with Katherine. This must be the best ice cream ever. Ever. Dulce de leche and peanut butter? Could it get any better than that?
Well Ben, today’s the last day of Summer for you guys so enjoy it. Fall has already arrived over here. I like this looks of this one, then I like the looks of all your ice creams. Wonder what it would taste like with caramel sauce on top?

So I have to ask – why is Autumn “Ms. Autumn?” Why not Mrs. Autumn? Or Mr. Autumn. Things that make you go hmmm. :-) All joking aside, you’ve been killing it with the ice creams lately, Ben! You’re celebrating these last few ‘official’ days of summer in the right way! I love adding salted peanuts on top of ice cream, and the dulce de leche + peanut butter base here? That’s my kind of dessert! Send me a scoop?

Ben, this might possibly be the best ice cream ever! I LOVE dulce de leche, just like you. And peanut butter is right up there too!! I often just take a spoonful of peanut butter and sprinkle some chocolate chips on it…don’t tell anyone that, ok!? This looks AMAZING!
