Making Birthday Ice Cream

Micah's birthday is coming up and since we are trying to eat chemical and preservative free we thought we would make his birthday ice cream. He picked chocolate ice cream with peanut butter cups.

We have a Cuisinart 20 qt. Frozen Yogurt-Sorbet and Ice Cream Maker. We really like it and have had it for a few years. It came with its own recipe booklet so we used the recipe for Simple Chocolate Ice Cream. We went to Trader Joe's and bought organic ingredients: cocoa powder, sugar, brown sugar, whole milk, heavy cream and pure vanilla extract and peanut butter cups.

You add the peanut butter cups the last 5 minutes. You can eat it right then but we are saving it for his birthday so we scooped it into a container and stuck it in the freezer! We actually made 2 batches. It should be good!
