Easy Vegan Peanut Butter-Maple Ice Cream

Ingredients

¾ cup pure maple syrup
2 cups unsweetened oat milk or creamer
1 cup smooth creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Chocolate chips for serving (optional)

Instructions

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, simmer maple syrup, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces by a third, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let syrup cool completely, stirring it occasionally as it cools. You should have about ½ cup.

Place syrup, milk or creamer, peanut butter, vanilla and salt in a blender or food processor (or use an immersion blender), and blend until smooth, 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Pour ice cream into a loaf pan.

Cover and place in the freezer to harden overnight or for at least 4 to 6 hours. Remove pan from the freezer at least 10 minutes before scooping and serving, topped with chocolate shavings or sprinkles, if you like.
