In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the smooth peanut butter, heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has fully dissolved.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions until the ice cream reaches a soft, creamy consistency.
In the last few minutes of churning, add the chocolate chunks to the ice cream maker and allow them to mix in evenly.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 more hours to firm up, or enjoy as soft serve straight from the ice cream maker.
Scoop and serve the ice cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy every creamy, chocolate-studded bite!
