| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a saucepan, combine milk, sugar, flour, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. |
| 2 | Take a few tablespoons of the hot milk mixture and gradually stir it into the beaten eggs. This tempering process ensures that the eggs incorporate smoothly without scrambling. |
| 3 | Return the egg-milk mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for an additional 2 minutes. This step further thickens the base and cooks the eggs. |
| 4 | Remove the saucepan from heat. |
| 5 | In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of the hot milk mixture with the peanut butter, blending until smooth and creamy. |
| 6 | Stir the peanut butter mixture into the remaining milk mixture until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. |
| 7 | Once cooled, stir in the vanilla extract and light cream until fully incorporated. |
| 8 | Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a thick, creamy consistency. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes. |
| 9 | Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm. |
| 10 | Serve scoops of creamy Peanut Butter Ice Cream in bowls or cones, garnished with your favorite toppings such as chocolate sauce, chopped nuts, or whipped cream. Enjoy the indulgent flavor and smooth texture of this homemade delight! |
