Do you remember those commercials for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups? The one where two people are walking along, enjoying their day in the park, eating their snack of choice
apparently, not looking where they were going. Because…
KABLAM!
You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!
Don’t you wonder why no one ever questioned why some person was just eating a big ole tub of peanut butter.
In public.
The one thing they were right about was that chocolate and peanut butter go together like… bagels and {vegan} cream cheese, chips and salsa, or mashed potatoes and gravy.
They just fit.
It took me a long time to make a successful batch of vegan ice cream. I really struggled with it for quite a while actually. I would try a recipe and it would never turn out exactly how I wanted it and so I would give up, lose faith that I could make something as good as I could get in the store.
But I kept trying.
And trying
And trying…
My ice cream maker got a very good work out. By no means am I an expert in making ice cream. But like I said in an earlier post… I really like it. So I keep trying.
Once I kind of figured out a good base to all the ice creams, I started playing with flavors.
This one is just fun.
It reminds me of my childhood. It’s one of those flavors that you might not pick at first glance, but when you have it, you love it.

I hope after these few days of posting ice creams… you’ll be inspired to make your own.
And…
hopefully, I can assist with that.

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM AS A CHILD?
Chocolate Peanut Butter Chunk Ice Cream
How exciting! I LOVE making ice-cream and my family loves eating it, fortunately! I have never seen a recipe for a vegan ice-cream so am definitely going to give this one a try – you can’t go wrong with the chocolate and peanut butter combination.
PS – My favourite ice-cream has and always will be – CHOCOLATE!!
The only way I like peanut butter in sweets is if it’s combined with dark chocolate! This sounds fantastic.
My favorite kind of ice-cream as a kid was chocolate with lots of toppings. I love making my own ice-cream. My current favorite is a dark chocolate french ice-cream I discovered recently (non-vegan).
Love the photography by the way.
Mint chip is the childhood favorite, and probably still will be as I enter adulthood!
I loved TIGER ICE CREAM when I was a kid AND I am old enough to remember the peanut butter and chocolate commercial. Great flashback to my childhood ! Thanks for that !! xx
When I was a kid, my favorite ice cream was chocolate and pb!
mint chocolate chip — the green kind — has always and i’m pretty sure always will be my favorite.
what a great giveaway!
hmmm, well, when I was little I had a really serious dairy allergy so I didn’t get to eat ice cream a lot. I always had to have sorbet because there was not really such a thing as vegan ice cream at the ‘ole parlor in Casper, WY or Bakersfield, CA… lol! But when I DID get to have ice cream as a kid I LOVED bubble gum. Gross now. hehe. PS- I want to WIN!

Cookies ‘n Creme. Mm m mm.
This looks awesome! I have only just recently tried peanut butter (surprising, I know, but I wasn’t exposed to peanut butter growing up in England) and I think that this ice-cream would be great for my next adventure with it.
My favourite ice-cream as a kid was mint chocolate chip. Actually, it still is my favourite!
And like a mind reader, you post a peanut butter and chocolate ice cream recipe. Looks divine! Let’s see, I would say probably mint chocolate chip has been an enduring favorite for as long as I can remember.
This looks delicious. Moosetracks ice cream was my favorite as a child. It’s vanilla ice cream with a fudge swirl and mini chocolate peanut butter cups!
My favourite ice cream when I was a child was rum and raisin and it reminds me of holidays with my family.
I will definately be trying this because these are my favorite flavors!
I don’t have a lot of money so I bought a ice cream maker at a thrift store and bought all the stuff to make it when, it didn’t even work 8 ( . Even tho I never made ice cream beforeI am all into creating my own creation besides your chocolate and peanut butter kind. Ice cream is my weakness
the icecream came out perfect.. though its already cold here.. i;d love to get my own icecream maker!! and make some and gobble some sitting by the fireplace:) i think my fave while growing up was pista.. u get that flavor in india with artificial pistachio flavor and some pistachio chunks thrown in!

my favorite flavor when I was a youngin was neopolitan. I miss it every day as a vegan.
Oh, how exquisite!
Oh, and my favourite ice cream when I was a child was rum and raisin!
Chocolate anything
Looks Fantastic! I am a spinning Instructor, and I have been vegan for 4.5 years.I have members of my 3 classes watching Forks over Knives, and I recently did a Sunshine Burger and Quinoa tasting after class. So many people think being vegan means walking outside and eating a bush, and nothing could be farther from the truth. This is the type of dish that, after having a garden Herb Sunshine Burger wrapped in Swiss chard with lettuce, tomato, avocado basil and a squeeze of lime, some Quinoa with mint, pine nuts and 101 cookbooks magic sauce, would bring their taste-buds to a euphoric conclusion!!
I loved and still love vanilla ice cream.
My favourite ice cream as a child was mint chocolate chip or strawberry (in my pre-vegan days). Now I quite enjoy So Delicious coconut milk ice cream – pretty much any flavour!!
