Fudge Tartlets With Peanut Butter Ice Cream And Cabernet Caramel Recipes

Steps:

• Bring the sugar and 3 tablespoons water to a boil over medium-high heat without stirring. Cook until it reaches a pale amber caramel, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and carefully add the wine and thyme sprigs. Cook, stirring to soften the caramel, until it is reduced to the desired consistency, 5 to 7 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Serve over pistachio ice cream and garnish with chopped pistachios.

Steps:

• Mix the peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Gradually stir in the butter. Continue to cook, stirring, until the sauce is smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Let the sauce cool; it will start to thicken as it cools. When ready to serve, heat the sauce in the microwave for a few seconds so it is easy to drizzle on top of your dessert of choice.

Steps:

• Using a handheld mixer, cream the peanut butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth. Add 1 cup of half-and-half and beat on low speed until well mixed. Add the rest of the half-and-half and the cream and whisk by hand-if you try to use your mixer you will end up with it splattering all over the kitchen.
• Pour the mixture into ice cream maker and process for 25 to 30 minutes, or according to the manufacturer's directions. The ice cream will be on the soft side but can be eaten right away or put into the freezer to "cure" or harden up for a couple hours. Stored in an airtight container, the ice cream will keep at least a week in the freezer.

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 9x13 inch dish.
• For the bottom layer: Combine 1 cup milk chocolate chips, 1/4 cup butterscotch chips and 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook and stir until melted and smooth. Spread evenly in prepared pan. Refrigerate until set.
• For the filling: In a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter. Stir in sugar and evaporated milk. Bring to a boil, and let boil 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in marshmallow creme, 1/4 cup peanut butter and vanilla. Fold in peanuts. Spread over bottom layer, return to refrigerator until set.
• For the caramel: Combine caramels and cream in a medium saucepan over low heat. Cook and stir until melted and smooth. Spread over filling. Chill until set.
• For the top layer: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1 cup milk chocolate chips, 1/4 cup butterscotch chips, and 1/4 cup peanut butter. Cook and stir until melted and smooth. Spread over caramel layer. Chill 1 hour before cutting into 1 inch squares.
