   In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk and sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer over low heat. Cook and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Beat the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Slowly add one cup of the hot cream mixture to the yolks to slowly bring it up to temperature.

Remove from the heat and stir in peanut butter and salt. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes before transferring to an airtight container. Let the mixture mature in the refrigerator 8 hours or overnight. Freeze the peanut butter mixture according to your ice cream maker’s instructions.
