Substitution
Recreating Reese's PB Cup Concrete from Freddy's Frozen Custard at home allows you to enjoy the creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate flavors blended into smooth frozen custard. If you don't have an ice cream or frozen custard machine, you can use a blender to mix the ingredients and then freeze the mixture, stirring every 30 minutes until smooth. Substituting creamy peanut butter with natural peanut butter may change the texture and sweetness, so adjust sugar levels accordingly. When chopping Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, make sure pieces are small enough to mix evenly but large enough to maintain texture. Your final dessert is best served immediately after preparing to ensure a velvety and indulgent experience.
Tips
When preparing the custard base, ensure you whisk the egg yolks and sugar vigorously until pale and thick to achieve a smooth texture. Heat the cream and milk gently without boiling to prevent curdling and carefully temper the eggs with the hot mixture before cooking further. Churning your custard in a properly chilled machine will help you attain the perfect creamy consistency that defines frozen custard. You should pulse the chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups gently when mixing to retain delightful chunks for a balanced texture in the final dessert.
Nutritions
Reese's PB Cup Concrete from Freddy's Frozen Custard is high in calories, primarily due to its heavy cream, whole milk, and peanut butter content, which provide abundant fats and proteins. The dessert offers a rich source of calcium and essential vitamins from the dairy ingredients, while the peanut butter and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups contribute significant amounts of protein and healthy fats. Sugar content is considerable, coming from granulated sugar and chocolate syrup, so moderation is important for maintaining balanced nutrition. Your indulgence in this creamy frozen custard delivers a satisfying mix of energy-dense nutrients and delightful flavors.
Storage
Store your Reese's PB Cup Concrete in an airtight container to maintain its creamy texture and rich flavor. Keep it frozen at 0degF (-18degC) to prevent ice crystals and preserve freshness for up to 2 weeks. Thaw slightly in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to enhance its velvety consistency.
Variation or Alternatives
You can replace Reese's Peanut Butter Cups with chopped peanut butter pretzels or chocolate-covered almonds for a crunchy twist. Swap creamy peanut butter with natural or crunchy varieties to add texture and a more intense peanut flavor. Consider folding the chopped candy directly into the churned custard to preserve chunk size instead of blending it in. Using dark chocolate syrup instead of regular chocolate syrup will deepen the chocolate notes in your concrete.
Allergies
Reese's PB Cup Concrete from Freddy's contains multiple allergens, including peanuts from peanut butter and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, dairy from heavy cream and whole milk, and eggs from the egg yolks. Individuals with peanut allergies or lactose intolerance should avoid this dessert to prevent allergic reactions or digestive issues. Your safety is important, so always check ingredient lists carefully when enjoying treats like this.
