Even die-hard chocolate lovers won't miss the hot fudge in these sensational sundaes. Ingredients:
1 2/3 cups half-and-half |
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar |
1 tablespoon light corn syrup |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural) |
1 1/2 pt premium vanilla ice cream |
2 firm-ripe bananas, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices |
garnish: coarsely chopped chocolate toffee candy such as a heath bar |
Directions:
1. 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.
2. 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.)
3. Cooks' note: Sauce keeps, cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled in an airtight container up to 1 week. Reheat before using.
