Make the Base

c) Pop the thickened creme fraiche mixture into a medium bowl, cover and refrigerate until completely cool, 1.5-2 houirs.

Whip it Up

c) Pour half the mixture into an appropriately sized container, then drizzle over half the peanut butter. Swirl it into the ice cream mixture. TIP: If your peanut butter has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.

Time for Ice Cream

a) Pour in the remaining ice cream mixture, then drizzle over the remaining peanut butter and red berry compote.

b) Swirl the compote and peanut butter into the ice cream mixture to create a swirl effect on top.

  • Flavour: The peanut butter flavour can be quite strong; consider using less for a more balanced taste.
  • Suggestions: Add a dollop of clotted cream for extra richness. Adjust peanut butter quantity to personal preference.
