Peanut Chocolate And Strawberry Sundae Recipes

STRAWBERRY SUNDAE SAUCE

Steps:

• Add the strawberries, sugar and salt to a small saucepan. Mix the cornstarch with 1/2 cup water in a small bowl and add it to the saucepan. Slowly heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a simmer, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat so it's at a very gentle simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon zest and juice and let cool.
• Serve over ice cream with salted peanuts on top.

PEANUT, CHOCOLATE AND STRAWBERRY SUNDAE

Steps:

• In a blender, wizz up the ice cream with the fresh strawberries.
• In a small bowl or mug, melt the chocolate in the microwave. Be careful not to over melt the chocolate!
• Put in the peanut butter, milk and cocoa powder. Mix until it is a shiny sauce, which you can drop from a spoon.
• Construction time! Get a medium sized glass and start layering the strawberry ice cream, the chocolate sauce and the crushed brownie. Place in the freezer for 3 hours.

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 BUTTER AND STRAWBERRY SUNDAE

Steps:

• Combine the 2/3 cup of white sugar and the brown sugar, butter, salt, and half-and-half or light cream in a medium saucepan. Warm the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously, until it starts to simmer. Whisk in the peanut butter until smooth. Heat the mixture for another minute, then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the sauce (about 1 2/3 cups) into a small serving bowl to cool.
• Reserve several whole strawberries for garnish. Slice the rest into a medium mixing bowl and sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of white sugar over them. Gently mash the berries into a chunky sauce and refrigerate it until serving time (you should end up with 3 cups or so).
• For each sundae, scoop ice cream into a chilled serving dish, spoon on some of the peanut butter and strawberry sauces, and top with a whole berry.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT SUNDAE SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring 1 cup water to boil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in sugar and cocoa powder. Whisk constantly until bubbles form around edge of pan. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, whisking occasionally, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and whisk in peanut butter. Simmer until sauce thickens and is smooth, whisking occasionally, about 3 minutes longer. Remove from heat; add vanilla. Cool slightly. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cool completely, then cover and refrigerate. Transfer to small glass bowl. Reheat in bowl over saucepan of simmering water or in microwave.)

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.
