Close with the storage lid and freeze flat for 24 hours.
-
Once fully frozen, run the ICE CREAM program.
-
If the texture is powdery or crumbly after the first cycle, run RE-SPIN.

Prepare the mix-ins
-
Finely chop the milk chocolate into pieces no larger than 5 mm and roughly chop the roasted unsalted peanuts. Keep the chocolate covered in the refrigerator.
-
Make a hole about 4 cm wide down the center of the ice cream, add the chopped milk chocolate and peanuts and run the MIX-IN program.
-
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the ice cream and fold it through two or three times by hand, leaving distinct ribbons. Serve immediately.
Serve
Serve immediately, while the ice cream is still nice and creamy.
Storing leftovers
Flatten any remaining ice cream to level the surface before returning the pint to the freezer. This will make the next spin easier and reduce unnecessary strain on the machine. Learn more about after-serving habits.
Tips
- Use a thick caramel sauce at room temperature so it folds easily into the ice cream without making it runny.
- Keep the milk chocolate pieces small because large pieces become hard when frozen.
- Fold the caramel only a few times so it remains in ribbons rather than disappearing into the peanut base.
