With just 3 ingredients and about 2 minutes of effort, you can make this salty, sweet, completely irresistible peanut butter ice cream topping. I’m willing to bet that you’ll find yourself pouring it over everything.
Peanut Butter Sauce for Ice Cream
Chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, hot fudge, and berry sauces get a lot of attention when it comes to ice cream toppings. For good reason, they’re pretty awesome, right?
I’m here to tell you that there’s a new hit in that line-up. This nut-filled peanut butter sauce is the salty-sweet ice cream pairing that you didn’t realize was missing in your life.
While you can certainly sweeten your peanut butter ice cream topping with powdered sugar, honey, or the sweetener of your choice, I prefer to keep it richly peanut butter flavored as a balance to the sweet ice cream.
Hand me a spoonful of peanut butter on its own and I’m a happy camper, but when you combine that peanut butter with the creaminess and sweetness of ice cream, it becomes a flavor explosion in your mouth.
The nuttiness of the peanut butter adds a savory element to the dessert, balancing out the sweetness of the ice cream and creating a more complex flavor profile.
Peanut Butter Magic Shell
This is the easiest dessert topping you may ever make. Have you made chocolate magic shell before? Thanks to the magic of coconut oil and the way it firms up when it gets cold, making homemade magic shell is so very easy.
To make the peanut butter topping, you’ll melt peanut butter and coconut oil together. Stir well and add a splash of vanilla extract, if you’d like.
Now you’re ready to pour peanut butter sauce over anything and everything you’d like. When poured over ice cream, it will firm and harden into a crisp shell that will crack when hit with a spoon.
The shell melts smoothly when you bite into it, creating an unforgettable treat for any peanut butter lover.
