Fluffy Peanut Butter and Honey Ice Cream with Chocolate Waffle Cones
Are you weirded out because I called this ice cream “fluffy”?
But it is so fluffy! (Cue that little girl from Despicable Me with the unicorn plushie.) Because I whipped the cream before incorporating it, the texture of the ice cream becomes almost mousse-like. It’s kinda perfect for a peanut butter base which can sometimes seem too rich.
There’s also honey in there, because who doesn’t like the peanut butter and honey combo? No one, that’s who.
And then I went and made some homemade waffle cones. They’re chocolate and taste like wafer cookies! I may have eaten a couple all by themselves sans any ice cream. But that’s only because I was “testing” them…riiiight…
I bought the waffle cone maker years ago, and this was, embarrassingly, the first time I’ve used it. Like I explained in my post over on Food Fanatic (yes, this is another dessert concoction I made for them!), I may or may not have a bit of a problem with collecting kitchen gadgets. I still haven’t used my mini deep fryer, or my newest addition—teeny tiny popsicle molds that also double as lollipop or chocolate molds. I hope I’m not the only one with this little issue!
If you’re wondering about the topping on my ice cream cones, it’s a salty-chocolatey sprinkle mixture from my favorite local ice cream shop—Molly Moon’s! The salt really brings out the best of the peanut butter-chocolate combination. If you want to make it yourself, I described a way you could create your own mixture over on my Food Fanatic post.
I also think this ice cream would be fantastic with some of this peanut butter caramel drizzled over the top (if you make that tart, you’ll have a bit leftover)!
P.S.—tomorrow is my 26th birthday and I want to just stop time, eat ALL the ice cream cones, and stop growing up.
Gahhhh! This ice cream looks absolutely perfect, Rachael! PB and honey is basically the best combo ever and I am DYING over how perfect those waffle cones look! And homemade too?! They totally look like they came from a fancy ice cream shop.
You have NO idea how excited I am to try this ice cream—helloooo weekend. š
