Peanut Sundae With Peanut Sauce And Peanut Brittle Recipes

PEANUT SUNDAE WITH PEANUT SAUCE AND PEANUT BRITTLE

Steps:

• To make peanut ice, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar with 1/3 cup water and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Simmer until sugar dissolves.
• In a blender or food processor, combine syrup, skim milk and peanut butter, and process until smooth. Transfer mixture to an ice cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
• To make candies, in a heavy skillet over medium heat, toast peanuts, turning them so they do not burn, for about 5 minutes. Immediately transfer to food processor, or spread them out on a large baking sheet. If using a food processor, pulse gently until nuts are just broken up, about 1 minute. Otherwise, use a rolling pin to crush nuts on baking sheet.
• In same skillet over medium heat, toast sesame seeds, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Add to peanuts in food processor or baking sheet.
• In a large heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine the piloncillo sugar with 1 quart water. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring frequently until the piloncillo melts. Continue to cook until syrup reaches hard crack stage (285 degrees on a candy thermometer), about 1 1/2 hours. Stir in peanuts and sesame seeds. Pour mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or waxed paper. Cool. Place candy in a heavy duty plastic bag, and use a rolling pin to crush it into pea-size pieces.
• To make peanut sauce, in a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients and process until smooth. Transfer to a tightly covered bottle, and store in refrigerator for up to one month.
• To assemble sundaes, pour a little bit of peanut sauce into a tall glass. Place two scoops of peanut ice on top. Sprinkle with a little crushed candy and serve.

THE BEST PEANUT BRITTLE

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and grease with nonstick cooking spray.
• Stir together the sugar, corn syrup and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan fitted with a candy/deep-fry thermometer. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then continue to boil until it's golden brown and it reaches 340 degrees F, about 15 minutes.
• Working quickly, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter and baking soda until smooth (it will foam and bubble up). Stir in the peanuts until evenly distributed amongst the sugar mixture.
• Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and quickly smooth with a rubber spatula into a thin and even layer. Let harden uncovered at room temperature until cooled completely. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

PEANUT BRITTLE

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine peanuts, cinnamon, and cayenne. Set aside.
• Brush the inside of a medium sized heavy saucepan with vegetable oil. Add the sugar and water to the saucepan, cook over high heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until it comes to a boil. Stop stirring, cover and cook for 3 minutes. Uncover, reduce heat to medium, and cook until the sugar is a light amber color. Stir in peanuts. This will greatly reduce the temperature of the sugar so work quickly. Once evenly mixed, pour mixture onto a sheet pan lined with a silicone baking mat or buttered parchment paper. Using a buttered spatula, spread thin. You will have to work quickly when pouring out and spreading the mixture in the pan. If necessary, in order to achieve single layer of peanuts, top with second sheet pan whose underside has been buttered. Cool completely and then break into pieces.

Steps:

• Grease a large cookie sheet. Set aside.
• In a heavy 2 quart saucepan, over medium heat, bring to a boil sugar, corn syrup, salt, and water. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Stir in peanuts. Set candy thermometer in place, and continue cooking. Stir frequently until temperature reaches 300 degrees F (150 degrees C), or until a small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water separates into hard and brittle threads.
• Remove from heat; immediately stir in butter and baking soda; pour at once onto cookie sheet. With 2 forks, lift and pull peanut mixture into rectangle about 14x12 inches; cool. Snap candy into pieces.

PEANUT BUTTER SUNDAES-IN-A-CUP

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix peanut butter, butter and corn syrup until well blended.
• Spoon 1/4 cup ice cream into each of four 6- to 8-ounce clear plastic or paper cups. Top each with peanut butter mixture and peanuts. Spoon another 1/4 cup ice cream into each cup; press down gently. Cover each cup with foil. Freeze 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
• To serve, spoon 2 tablespoons fudge topping into each cup. Top each with whipped cream and cherry.

PEANUT BUTTER SUNDAE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine heavy cream and brown sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, add peanut butter, and stir until combined and melted.
• To serve, scoop ice cream into serving bowls, drizzle with peanut butter sauce.

PEANUT BRITTLE

Steps:

• Use a bit of butter to grease a baking sheet, preferably one with a low rim. Combine sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a heavy skillet and turn heat to medium. Stir until smooth, then cook, adjusting heat so that mixture bubbles steadily. Stir occasionally until mixture turns golden brown (which it may do rather suddenly).
• Stir in the peanuts and a large pinch of salt, if desired. Pour mixture onto greased baking sheet and spread out. Cool for about a half-hour, then break into pieces. (You can score brittle with a knife when it has solidified slightly but not yet turned hard; that way, it will break into even squares.) Store in a covered container for up to two weeks.
