That is a long name for an ice cream, but this creamy and deliciuos treat really deserves it. I do realize that this is not a low-calorie and not-too-healthy dessert, but I really don’t feel guilty eating a little bit of it after a long 7-mile run. This is a great source of energy to keep me going, right? (Please say yes :-p )
So why is this a tres leches (three-milk) ice cream? Very simple, when I was about to make some peanut butter ice cream I realized I was out of heavy cream. But I had condensed, evaporated and regular milk so I decided to use them together. My mom’s desserts are always a hit because she uses a simple, yet powerful, secret ingredient. Instead of sweetening her desserts with sugar she uses condensed milk. Trust me, every dessert tastes better with condensed milk.
Tres Leches Peanut Butter Ice Cream
The ingredients:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 cup milk
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
3 eggs
1 TBSP vanilla extract
The how-to:
In a medium pot warm together the milks.
In a bowl whisk eggs slightly. Slowly whisk in the warm milk.
Return milk to the pot and add vanilla extract.
Heat up the mixture over low heat. Keep stirring with a heat-proof spatula scraping the bottom of the pot.
When the mixture thickens enough to coat the spatula (around 140°F) turn off the heat and let mixture cool in the fridge for about 4 hours.
Follow ice cream machine directions to finish making ice cream.

Remember that there is only a couple of days left to enter our last Homemade Challenge. This month we are making ice cream. I am also sending this recipe to The Great Peanut Butter Exhibition #7: Celebrations. Is there a better way to celebrate summer than with ice cream?
