This homemade ice cream takes those nostalgic flavors and transforms them into a smooth, decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a luscious peanut butter base and swirls of sweet marshmallow fluff, this ice cream delivers the ultimate balance of nutty, sweet, and creamy goodness.
What makes this recipe special is its silky texture and perfect flavor contrast. The peanut butter provides a slightly salty, rich depth, while the marshmallow fluff adds a light, airy sweetness that complements the creaminess of the ice cream. If you love texture, adding mini marshmallows and crushed peanut butter cookies gives each bite a delightful crunch and chewiness.

If you do have one, the process is quick, requiring only about 20-25 minutes of churning before freezing. Without an ice cream maker, you can still enjoy this frozen treat by manually stirring it every 30 minutes as it freezes.
