Question

So i am running low on ice cream and my teeth are killing me because i just had 8 teeth including my wisdom pulled a week ago to get braces. I have braces on right now i just got them on monday. So can i freeze peanut butter and eat it? Would it taste good? Would it somewhat be like ice cream?

Answer 1

grind together reese's cups with about 2 -4 tablespoons of peanut butter and you have your own dessert

not really ice cream, but hey, it works :)

or try adding blueberries and mix it up with peanut butter

Answer 2

Sorry, no you cannot.  

Answer 3

i do it all the time its sooooo good!

Answer 4

Don't freeze it. It makes the oils separate making it worthless. However, you can store unopened jars in a cool, dry place and it should keep for 9-12 months. Storing it in the fridge will make it last longer

Answer 5

if you have milk, cream or 1/2 & 1/2 and a few ziploc bags you can make some ice cream for yourself pretty quick and you could add some PB to this recipe. If you don't have vanilla I wouldn't worry too much. Hope you feel better!

What you'll need:

    * 1 tablespoon sugar

    * 1/2 cup milk or half & half

    * 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

    * 6 tablespoons salt

    * 1 pint-size plastic food storage bag (e.g., Ziploc)

    * 1 gallon-size plastic food storage bag

    * Ice cubes

How to make it:

   1. Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the salt. Seal the bag.

   2. Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag, and seal it.

   3. Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully.

   4. Shake until the mixture is ice cream, which takes about 5 minutes.

   5. Wipe off the top of the small bag, then open it carefully. Enjoy!

A 1/2 cup milk will make about 1 scoop of ice cream, so double the recipe if you want more.  

Answer 6

No, and don't eat anything like peanut butter that will get all stuck in your teeth!

Answer 7

If you freeze it, it will make the oil separate, and when it thaws, it will be gross.

You can always mix it with ice cream! YUM! I like chocolate ice cream with peanut butter, personally. Its like a reese's or something similar.

When I searched it on Yahoo!, I found some yummy recipes. The first is a peanut butter and jelly popsicle, the next is a list of recipes, and the last link (in the sources area) is an answered FAQ for Peter Pan peanut butter - with their recommendation to not freeze peanut butter.

"How should Peter Pan Peanut Butter be stored?

You may store both unopened and opened jars of Peter Pan Peanut Butter at room temperature. Exposure to air and excessive heat may accelerate the loss of optimum flavor and—in the case of heat exposure—cause oil separation. Avoid this by keeping the jar tightly closed and in a cool place. Cold temperatures, even those that still are above freezing, may change peanut butter's consistency, texture, and thickness.

Do I need to refrigerate Peter Pan Peanut Butter?

Although both unopened and opened jars of Peter Pan Peanut Butter may be stored at room temperature, refrigeration may help retain the product's optimum flavor—particularly in places where the room temperature tends to be warm. Keep in mind that colder storage temperatures will make Peter Pan Peanut Butter firmer and not as easy to spread. We do not recommend freezing peanut butter."

Answer 8

I don't think you can freeze peanut butter successfully, but why not give it a try and let us know.
