Peanut Butter & Chocolate Ice Cream Sauce

Peanut Butter.

Chocolate.

Ice-Cream.

3 glorious words - put them together and you have 1 GLORIOUS dessert.

Every week me and my besties have a 'Dinner Club' - it's not as sophisticated as it sounds, but boy is it fun! We basically take turns cooking up some delicious food and share a lot of gossip & giggles while sitting in our pyjamas!!!

Last week I was the host and I wanted to recreate this mouth-watering recipe that I had seen on Nigella's website. It was literally amazing and we couldn't get enough of it. We were halfway through and kept pouring extra on... we were like drunken men waving our tankards full of ice-cream shouting MORE MORE MORE!!!

This sauce is super easy to make, takes about 5 minutes and you can make it before your guests arrive and pop some foil over the top of the pan (it'll stay warm for about 2/3 hours!) It's thick, creamy, sweet and sugary. What more could you ask for?!

INGREDIENTS (serves 4 - 6)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

175ml Double Cream

100g Milk Chocolate

100g Smooth Peanut Butter

3 Tablespoons Golden Syrup

Ice-Cream of Choice

Bag of Salted Peanuts Crushed

METHOD

1. Into pan chuck cream, broken up chocolate, peanut butter and golden syrup

2. On a low heat melt this all together, stirring occasionally.

3. The sauce should be ready in around 2 minutes! Leave to cool a while and avoid finger dipping... ok, maybe one tiny finger dip!

4. In a bowl/glass scoop out your ice-cream. I choose Chocolate, Vanilla & Toffee Fudge. (I actually dished up the ice-cream before everyone arrived and placed the glasses in the freezer ready to just add the sauce and toppings, it made it a lot easier and quicker to serve!)

5. Pour the warm sauce all of the ice-cream, sprinkle the chopped nuts and serve with a smile!

Chocolate, Cream, Peanut Butter & Golden Syrup in the pan...

Stir the delicious ingredients together on a low heat...

Mmmm warm, chocolatey gooooo! 

Crush the Salted Peanuts with a rolling pin while they're still in the bag... a lot easier and less messy

Have a good weekend
