Sweet Cream and Cultured Butter
Butter recipes are from the book "Butter: A Rich History" by Elaine Khosrova. I think the recipes are great, I just need to find a better way to knead and dry off the butter because the cheesecloth I have releases fuzz onto the butter, even when freshly cleaned. It's also important, I found, to press the butter a little at a time into all the crevices of the molds, otherwise you will have many gaps and air pockets. Metal molds work as well as silicone, you just have to tap them against the counter for the butter to slide out, but the butter seems to shrink a bit so it comes out easily. The cultured butter was made with a flora danica culture but to me tastes almost indientical to the sweet cream, although the buttermilk tasted wildly different, much more like tangy buttermilk from the store than the sweet cream buttermilk, with just tasted a bit like milk. Made one of them with raw cream, which didn't seem to make a difference falvor-wise. You should be able to get around 2 cups of cream from a gallon of raw milk (roughly, I'm sure this varies).
NB: I used my stand mixer and it took about 6-10 minutes for the butter to separate out and makes a HUGE mess. Try the food processor next time, since it's contained and can't splatter.

DIY Nonnie’s 6 Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cake
Nonnie’s 6 Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cake is the go-to summer dessert…super easy, super simple, yet so delicious. The filling is made with two base ingredients, high-quality chocolate ice cream, and creamy peanut butter. The crust is a mix of sweet chocolate wafer cookies and salted butter. When combined with the creamy chocolate peanut butter ice cream filling it makes for a mouthwatering cake that’s chocolatey, peanutty, super creamy, and a touch salty. Once the cake is frozen, top with homemade “magic shell” and salty peanuts. This is everyone’s favorite summertime ice cream cake!
