INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 1/2 cup of flour
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of yeast
  • 1 3/4 cups of milk (heated)
  • 1 tablespoon of oil in a small bowl.

  • 200 grams or 5 1/3 ounces of dark chocolate, broken into small pieces. [describe the texture and taste]

DIRECTIONS: Step by Step

1. Bring the milk to a boil in a saucepan and remove it from the heat. The milk will be hot but not too hot (about 115 F). Dissolve the yeast in about 1/4 teaspoon of lukewarm water, stir well, and set aside for 10 minutes.

2. In a large mixing bowl or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, combine flour, sugar, salt, and oil until well mixed. Mix in the yeast and milk. Pull the dough into a ball and let rest, covered, for 10 minutes.

3. Mix the yolks, peanut butter, and chocolate until smooth in a bowl or stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Add the melted chocolate to this mixture and mix well again.

4. Preheat your ice cream maker for about 10 minutes before you start making your ice cream. Turn on the machine and insert metal spouts into a metal insert (not plastic).

5. On low speed, add the chocolate to the dough and then check the consistency of the ice cream. It is necessary to add a small amount of flour until you get a good consistency.

Turn the speed up 1-2 notches and continue mixing until the ice cream is done (about 15 minutes, depending on your machine). If it starts sticking around 8-10 minutes, stop and clean the spout before continuing.

6. Add the ice cream to small bowls and serve immediately.
