Peanut Butter and Banana Sundaes Recipe

Peanut Butter and Banana Sundaes Recipe

  • 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
  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.)
