1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 tbs vanilla extract
4 tbs peanuts, unsalted, shelled, coarsely chopped, for sprinkling

1
Combine milk, sugar and salt in a saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until mixture almost boils. Reduce heat to low.

3
Gradually stir about ½ cup of hot milk mixture into beaten eggs.
4
Add eggs to remaining milk mixture.

6
Whisk in peanut butter and mix well.
7
Refrigerate at least 3 hours.
8
Combine cream, vanilla extract, and chilled mixture, stirring with a whisk.
9

Serving: take it out of the freezer for 5-10 minutes before serving, or longer, so it comes to the right scooping temperature. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and chocolate bits.
11
Easy suggestion: ice cream is best served in chilled glass or porcelain bowls. Scoop it with a hot, but dry, ice-cream spoon (soak it in boiling water, then wipe dry).
