Or, you might want to try my Chocolate Banana Ice Cream or my Strawberry Banana Ice Cream instead. Why not try all three and treat yourself to an ice cream sundae recipe.
But, I know that it's hard to resist a bowl of chunky peanut butter ice cream loaded with your favorite candies.
So, you can certainly add chunks of chocolate-covered peanut butter, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips if you prefer.

Or, why not try adding a scoop of this ice cream to my Wendy's Frosty recipe. Or, try a scoop in between two of my homemade chocolate chip cookies.
Homemade ice cream sandwiches are a delicious summer treat. One of the benefits of making your own homemade ice cream is that you control what you put into it.
If you want it plain, you can have it that way. If you want fruit or candy, those are good too. Add what you think sounds best and enjoy it.
If you find the ice cream is getting soft while you're eating it, just put it back in the freezer for a few more minutes.
Homemade ice cream will stay good in the freezer for about two weeks. But, I think it's best when you eat it as soon as you make it.
