Best Peanut Sundae With Peanut Sauce And Peanut Brittle Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER SUNDAE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter in a heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until thickened.
• Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and optional peanuts and cinnamon (if using).
• Refrigerate leftovers.
• May be used as a dip for sliced apples, too.

CARAMEL PEANUT SUNDAE

Steps:

• To prepare caramel sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir 1/2 cup sugar until melted. Reduce heat to low, and slowly add butter, 1/4 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup milk; be careful to avoid spattering. Remove from heat, and add salt and 2 tablespoons corn syrup. Mix until smooth. Cool, cover and refrigerate until chilled, 2 hours or overnight.
• To prepare ice cream: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups milk, vanilla bean and pulp, and 1 tablespoon corn syrup. Place over medium heat until steaming; meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk egg yolks and 1/3 cup sugar until light in color and fluffy. Whisk about 1/3 of the hot milk mixture into eggs, then whisk egg mixture back into pan. Continue to heat mixture until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Strain into a bowl set over ice water, and allow to cool.
• Transfer mixture to an ice cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. When ice cream has finished churning, stir in 1/2 cup peanuts. Transfer to a plastic container, and freeze.
• For assembly: Pour a little caramel sauce into each of 4 tall glasses. Lay a wafer in each glass, top with a scoop of ice cream, another wafer, another scoop of ice cream, and another wafer. Add more caramel sauce, and sprinkle on some chopped peanuts. Add whipped cream, top with more caramel sauce and peanuts, and serve.

PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA SUNDAES

Steps:

• Bring half-and-half, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat, whisking until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in peanut butter until smooth. Transfer to a glass measure or small heatproof pitcher and cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Divide ice cream among 4 bowls, then top each serving with some banana slices and 3 tablespoons peanut butter sauce. (You will have some sauce left over.)

FLUFFY CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER SUNDAES

Steps:

• For the chocolate-peanut butter sauce: Warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Place the chocolate chips and peanut butter in a medium bowl. Pour the warm cream over and allow to sit for 1 minute. Whisk until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
• For the toppings: Using a hand-held mixer, whip the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar on high speed in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, quickly fold in the marshmallow cream.
• To make the sundaes, put 1 scoop of ice cream into each of 4 sundae bowls. Top each scoop with some of the Chocolate-Peanut Butter Sauce and a dollop of the Marshmallow Whipped Cream. Garnish with sprinkles, crushed cookies or crostini, as desired.

PEANUT BRITTLE ICE CREAM SUNDAES WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Whisk yolks in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in hot milk mixture. Return mixture to saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until custard thickens and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 2 minutes (do not boil). Strain into bowl. Whisk in cream. Chill.
• Process custard in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to large container. Mix in 2 cups chopped peanut brittle. Cover and freeze. Reserve remaining brittle for garnish. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep frozen.)
