Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondie Ice Cream

Chrissy Teigen's "Cravings" cookbook has become a staple in our kitchen, guiding us through countless meals that have brought our family together around the dinner table. Her recipes are not just food; they're an experience, weaving together flavors that resonate with comfort, love, and a touch of celebrity charm. Among the many treasures in her cookbook, one recipe that recently caught my eye was inspired by John Legend's love for Chrissy's Skillet Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies. The thought struck me: if these blondies can capture the heart of an EGOT-winning artist, why not transform this delightful treat into an ice cream?

Join Rae and me as we embark on a culinary adventure to turn this beloved dessert into a creamy, dreamy ice cream. It's not just an experiment; it's a celebration of flavor, love, and music, all churned together into a frozen delight that's as soulful as a John Legend song.
