Ingredients
- 1 litre good quality vanilla ice-cream
- 150 g dark chocolate, chopped
- ⅓ cup chopped salted peanuts
- ½ cup organic peanut butter
- ½ tsp salt flakes
Cinnamon salt and peanut biscuits
- 125 g unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 free-range egg
- 1½ cups self-raising flour
- 1 cup roasted peanuts
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt flakes
Freezing time 4 hours
Instructions
Soften the ice-cream and place into a large mixing bowl.
Sprinkle over the chocolate and peanuts, dot with small spoonfuls of the peanut butter and sprinkle over the salt flakes. Mix the ice-cream to evenly distribute the chocolate, nuts and peanut butter but do not over-mix or you will loose the swirls of peanut butter.
Return to a plastic container and freeze for 4 hours or overnight.
Meanwhile, to make the biscuits, preheat the oven to 180°F (360°F). Combine the butter and sugar in a bowl, and cream together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix well.
Add the flour and beat on low until well combined. Using a wooden spoon, mix through the peanuts.
Using heaped tablespoons of mixture, shape into about 20 balls and place onto a lined baking tray. Lightly flatten.
Combine the cinnamon and salt flakes in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the biscuits and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden.
Cool on the tray. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
Serve the peanut butter and choc chunk ice-cream with the cinnamon salt and peanut biscuits.
