It doesn't take long, refer to my tips.

Big Nutter Butter Fans
You may remember my decadent Nutter Butter Brownies or Nutter Butter Pie?
My youngest son is a nutter butter fan for sure, I made all kinds of his favorite desserts with
nutter butter in them, even at Christmas time I decorated these cute little Santa cookies.
Vanilla beans and paste is quite expensive, pure vanilla extract is fine, and here is my recipe that
will cut the cost of your extracts by making them homemade.
Tips
- Freeze the ice cream mixture around 2 hours before churning for faster results.
- Use pure vanilla extract if you want to cut the cost down
- For lower calories fat ice cream, you can substitute coconut milk or 2% milk for heavy cream and use fat-free half an half
- Follow instructions on ice cream maker for best results on churning
- Freeze the ice cream maker container overnight to prepare, if it's separate from the unit
- For peanut allergy, substitute any cookies you like, even sugar-free cookies for diabetic and add a sugar-free substitute for sugar
- See my recipe below for no-churn for those without an ice cream maker
Basic No Churn Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe
No ice cream maker? No problem, follow this simple recipe below:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 14-ounce can sweeten condensed milk
- 1 or 2 vanilla beans or 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Pour the cream into the bowl of a food processor.
- Make a slit down the centers of both vanilla beans and scrape out all the seeds with the back of the knife into the cream.
- Whip the cream until it is stiff. This will only take a couple of minutes, so watch carefully, this turns to butter so don't overbeat!
- Pour the condensed milk in to combine and fold in the cookies of choice.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream container or a loaf pan that's made of metal. Cover and put into the freezer for at least 4 hours.
