Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

  • 4 cups chocolate ice cream

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup hot fudge sauce
  • 4-6 chopped peanut butter cups
  • Whipped cream (to taste)
  • Chopped peanuts (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Scoop Ice Cream: In individual serving bowls, place 1 cup of chocolate ice cream each to establish the dessert base.
  2. Drizzle Peanut Butter: Warm the creamy peanut butter slightly if needed to make it easier to drizzle, then evenly drizzle over each scoop of ice cream.
  3. Add Hot Fudge Sauce: Pour the hot fudge sauce generously over the peanut butter and ice cream to add a rich, chocolaty layer.
  4. Sprinkle Peanut Butter Cups: Chop 4 to 6 peanut butter cups and sprinkle them on top to add crunchy, peanut buttery chunks.
  5. Top with Whipped Cream and Peanuts: Add a dollop of whipped cream on each sundae and, if desired, sprinkle chopped peanuts for an extra crunchy texture.
  6. Serve Immediately: Serve the sundaes right away to enjoy the perfect contrast of cold ice cream, warm fudge, and crunchy toppings.

Notes

  • For easier drizzling, warm the peanut butter slightly in the microwave.
  • Use your favorite brand of peanut butter cups or homemade ones for a personalized touch.
  • Chopped peanuts are optional but add nice texture and additional peanut flavor.
  • Can be made with any chocolate ice cream or even peanut butter ice cream for variation.
  • Best served immediately to avoid ice cream melting and toppings getting soggy.
