2. Heavy Cream:
   • Heavy cream contributes to the creaminess and richness of the ice cream, resulting in a smooth texture when churned.
3. Whole Milk:
   • Whole milk adds additional creaminess to the ice cream base and helps balance the richness of the heavy cream.
4. Sugar or Alternative Sweeteners:
   • Sugar adds sweetness to the ice cream. You can adjust the amount based on your preference. Alternative sweeteners like stevia or erythritol can be used for a lower-calorie option.
5. Vanilla Extract:
   • Vanilla extract enhances the flavor profile of the ice cream, complementing the nutty taste of peanut butter.
6. Pinch of Salt:
   • A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor by balancing the sweetness and bringing out the richness of the peanut butter.

Optional Ingredients:

1. Chocolate Chips or Chunks:
   • Adding chocolate chips or chunks provides bursts of chocolate flavor and adds texture to the creamy base.
2. Crushed Peanuts:
   • Sprinkling crushed peanuts into the ice cream mixture or on top adds a crunchy element and enhances the peanut flavor.
3. Swirls of Chocolate or Caramel Sauce:
   • Swirling chocolate or caramel sauce throughout the ice cream creates ribbons of flavor and adds a touch of indulgence to each scoop.

These optional ingredients can be customized to suit your preferences, allowing you to create a personalized and decadent peanut butter ice cream experience with the Ninja Creami.
