Recipe Box, Peanut Butter Fool
I am a fool for both peanut butter and this easy way to make “ice cream”
“Fool” or “Foole” is an English culinary term for dessert, traditionally berries buried in custard or whipped cream
The base is super easy, sweetened condensed milk and thawed Cool Whip or beaten heavy whipping cream
Now here’s the fun part, add anything you like!
I used mini peanut butter cookies, chocolate peanut butter cups, and peanut butter bites*
*I recently discovered these, they are a handy little snack- I’ll grab 3-4 to get me through the morning if I don’t have breakfast. Look for them in the peanut butter section
Mix the milk and whipped cream together in a large bowl or directly into a freezer container
You can add the mini cookies and chocolate cups whole or cut them into smaller pieces for more even distribution and easier eating
I did cut the peanut butter balls into 1/4s
Cover the container and freeze for 4 hours before serving

Oh my word! That’s about a million calories worth of wonderful!
I know, but really all you need is just a bite or two and you’re pretty happy 🙂 Thanks Stacey!
Jenna, this has to be delicious! Some of my favorites are in this recipe…Nutter Butter’s and Reeses’. I know that it has a few calories, but worth the splurge I am sure!
O M G!!! <3

We love peanut butter and OMG this looks amazing!!!…and I love that it is easy!!! 🙂
I am so excited to see that I can make my own ice cream (without a machine) with my favorite fixings! Thanks for sharing.
How can I notice your pumpkin plates with peanut butter ice cream doo-dads on top? I love peanut butter so much I’ve started buying the giant double-jar pack at Costco. Crunchy of course.I don’t know of these peanut butter bites of which you speak. Must investigate and mix in ice cream right away.
I think the bites are fairly new, I just noticed them a few weeks ago, and have seen them at Publix and WM, warning, they are slightly addictive :0 >
Jenna, Peanut butter, chocolate, and ice cream are my hubby’s three favorites. I’ll have to look for those peanut butter bites 🙂
I love a good fool (and that sounds a bit strange, doesn’t it?), but have only ever had the fruit variety. This looks sinfully delicious!
Oh boy, I have to try this ASAP! This sounds so good and we are all peanut butter lovers in my house. Thanks for the recipe!
Looking forward to October!
Not sure how you are going to top September!
Thanks!
Michelle
