Preparation Steps
1
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and heavy cream over medium heat until it almost reaches a simmer. Do not let it boil!
2
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until light and creamy.
3
Gradually whisk a small amount of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
4
Pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
5
Remove from heat and stir in the melted dark chocolate, vanilla extract, salt, and peanut butter. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
6
Let the mixture cool completely, then pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
7
If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, stir it with a fork to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this for 3-4 hours.
8
Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
