This easy sundae is a chocolate and peanut butter dream! A warm, creamy fudge sauce is poured over scoops of caramel, chocolate, and vanilla ice cream, and then topped with crunchy salted peanuts. Perfect for a quick and delicious dessert!
Ingredients Needed:
- 175 millilitres double cream
- 100 grams milk chocolate (chopped)
- 100 grams smooth peanut butter (Skippy for preference)
- 3 tablespoons golden syrup
- 4 scoops caramel ice cream or toffee ice cream
- 4 scoops chocolate ice cream
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 4 tablespoons salted peanuts (roughly chopped or left whole to taste)
How To Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Sundae?
- Make the fudge sauce: Add the double cream, chopped chocolate, peanut butter, and golden syrup to a saucepan. Heat over low, stirring now and then, until melted and smooth (about 2 minutes).
- Assemble the sundaes: Place a scoop of caramel or toffee ice cream in four serving glasses. Add a scoop of chocolate ice cream, then a scoop of vanilla.
- Add the toppings: Pour the warm chocolate peanut butter fudge sauce over the ice cream, then sprinkle with salted peanuts.
- Serve and enjoy: Dig in while the sauce is still warm and gooey!
Recipe Tips:
- Use good-quality chocolate: Choose a smooth and creamy milk chocolate for the best fudge sauce. Cheap chocolate may not melt well and can make the sauce grainy.
- Heat the sauce gently: Keep the heat low when melting the chocolate and peanut butter. High heat can burn the chocolate and make the sauce too thick.
- Stir constantly: Mix the sauce while heating to keep it smooth. If it looks too thick, add a little more cream to loosen it.
- Serve the sauce warm: Pour the fudge sauce over the ice cream while it’s still warm so it melts slightly and blends with the flavors.
- Choose salted peanuts for balance: The saltiness of the peanuts enhances the sweetness of the ice cream and sauce, making the sundae taste even better.
How To Store Leftovers?
Let the fudge sauce cool completely. Pour it into an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 1 week.
