Ah..Bliss: Homemade Peanut Butter and Artisan Chocolate Ice Cream

I love Peanut Butter. I love Artisan Chocolate. I love Ice Cream. I love My Health Master. Last night I thought I would test out the Health Master Juicer again. This time I thought I was give it a challenge. Could this machine really make ice cream? I mean its just a blender....or is it? Mr. Montel Williams has some really tasty recipes for ice creams and sorbets...but I thought I would go my own route on this one. Unfortunately my tummy doesn't do to well with ice cream. I have no idea why..I guess there is something in it that my body can't handle. It isn't milk...I'm okay there. I love ice cream. So this is what I did.

Peanut Butter Ice Cream with Artisan Chocolate and Walnuts by Maman and Gourmand

2 cup of heavy cream

1 1/2 cups of peanut butter

1/2 cup of corn syrup

4 cups of ice.

I put it all in the Health Master and turned on the Ice feature. Turned up the power a little bit. And in about 2 minutes (using the tamper to get the stuck ingredients off the sides) I had a great base for Peanut Butter Ice Cream. It tasted like peanut butter...not peanut butter product but actual peanut butter. I had chopped up the Artisan Chocolate (Patric Chocolate by the way) and the walnuts ahead of time. I then put them in the health master and folded them in with a rubber spatula. After that I put it in a plastic container with a lid and let it freeze. In about an 1 1/2 it was ready to be scooped out. It is THE BEST ice cream that I ever had. What's more I didn't get sick.

Now...here is a healthier recipe.
