Peanut butter sauce for ice cream elevates desserts and breakfast foods alike, from sundaes and brownies to waffles and pancakes. This sauce is an incredibly rich, creamy and satisfying treat\u2014and best of all, it\u2019s easy to make. Once you whip up a batch, you can refrigerate it and bring it out when the mood strikes. A little sweet, a little salty (especially if you add salted peanuts as a topping) and altogether scrumptious, peanut butter ice cream topping is a truly tasty topping to have on hand.<\/p>\n
First, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt in a microwave-safe dish, then cover and microwave on high for two minutes (or until the mixture starts to boil).<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Stir the mixture twice while microwaving to ensure it reaches optimal smoothness.<\/p>\n Add the peanut butter and stir until smooth, then stir in the evaporated milk.<\/p>\n Serve your sauce warm over ice cream and sprinkle with peanuts or another topping of your choice.<\/p>\n You should store your peanut butter sauce in an airtight container in the fridge. Since the sauce contains dairy, it will need to be refrigerated or it will spoil.<\/p>\n Your sauce should last for up to two weeks, as long as it\u2019s been refrigerated.<\/p>\n The peanut butter sauce will naturally thicken as it cools. When you\u2019re ready to serve it again, reheat it in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds.<\/p>\n Pour your sauce over pancakes or waffles for a dash of sweetness at breakfast, or add it to virtually any dessert, from homemade brownies to bread pudding.<\/p>\n Reports Karen Buhr of Gasport, New York,”Whenever there’s an ice cream social at church, this scrumptious topping is requested. It’s easy to make.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8015,"featured_media":2021456,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"tags":[304032,304328,306138,304288,305487,304338,303966,303887,307295,306848,304268,304071,307449,307483,307479,304350,324623,303883],"categories-v2":[308623,308984,308481,311910,259620,310796,308992,308495,308478,310333,309603,259483,308668,310465,310484,310483,309001,309177,308476],"coauthors":[343392],"recommended_recipes":[{"post_title":"Peanut
