As unconventional as it may sound, this unlikely flavor combination is one for the books. Tangy-sweet bread and butter pickle juice against a salty peanut butter topping makes for a an incredibly rich, balanced ice cream-eating experience. For anyone that lives for a signature sweet and savory combination, this is one that you’re not going to want to miss out on. Depending on how much you love that briny pickle flavor, feel free to intensify the flavor by adding more juice; however, you don’t want to go over 1 ¼ cups of juice.
