Hot Tin Roof Sundae Recipes

Steps:

• Warm the milk, sugar, salt and 1/2 cup (125 ml) of the cream in a medium saucepan. With a sharp paring knife, scrape the flavorful seeds from the vanilla bean and add them, along with the pod, to the hot milk mixture. Cover, remove from the heat, and let steep at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Rewarm the vanilla-infused mixture. Pour the remaining 1 cup (250 ml) cream into a large bowl and set a mesh strainer on top. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
• Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer and stir it into the cream to cool. Remove the vanilla bean, wipe it clean of any egg bits, and add it back to the custard. Stir in the vanilla and stir until cool over an ice bath. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator.
• When ready to churn the ice cream, remove the vanilla bean (it can be rinsed and reused). Freeze the ice cream in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. While the ice cream is freezing, chop the peanuts into bite-sized pieces.
• Fold the peanut pieces into the frozen ice cream as you remove it from the machine, and layer it with Fudge Ripple.

Steps:

• Add the ice cream and milk to a high-powered blender and blend on high until the mixture is creamy and pourable. Drizzle the Homemade Chocolate Sauce on the inside of 2 tall glasses, pour in the milkshake, and top with another drizzle of chocolate sauce. Top with a big dollop of whipped cream, a maraschino cherry and a few Sweet and Salty peanuts. Serve with a straw and a spoon.
• Add all the ingredients to a bowl set over a double boiler. Heat over medium heat, stirring every so often, until chocolate is melted. Switch to a whisk if necessary to combine all the ingredients. As the chocolate sauce cools, it will slightly harden. It can be rewarmed to a pourable consistency in the microwave, heating in 10 second increments until desired consistency is reached. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add the butter, agave and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a small saucepan. Melt over medium heat. Once the butter has melted add the peanuts and stir to coat. Transfer the nuts to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until the sugar from the agave has caramelized and the nuts are golden brown. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Increase heat and boil until syrup is deep amber, swirling pan occasionally, about 10 minutes. Turn off heat. Add cream and butter (mixture will bubble up). Stir until any caramel bits dissolve. Stir in salt and vanilla. Add chocolate; stir until melted and smooth. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Transfer sauce to medium bowl; cover and chill. Rewarm before using.

• Whisk egg yolks and cornstarch in medium bowl until blended; gradually whisk in warm milk mixture. Return custard to same saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until custard thickens and just begins to boil, 2 to 3 minutes. Strain custard into large bowl; discard nibs. Whisk in cream and coarse salt. Chill custard until cold.
