PEANUT SUNDAE WITH PEANUT SAUCE AND PEANUT BRITTLE



Peanut Sundae With Peanut Sauce and Peanut Brittle image

This unusual recipe came to The Times in 2000 from Zarela Martinez, the owner of Zarela, a landmark Mexican restaurant in New York that closed in 2011. The base here is a peanut ice milk, which is covered with torito, a rich, creamy peanut sauce made with cachaça, and individual sesame-peanut candies. The candies and ice milk can be made ahead of time.

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup sugar
3 cups skim milk
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup raw peanuts
1 cup sesame seeds
4 piloncillo cones (Mexican brown sugar), about 2 pounds total (see note)
2 12-ounce cans evaporated milk
1 14-ounce can condensed milk
1 cup sugar-cane liquor (see note)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • To make peanut ice, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar with 1/3 cup water and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Simmer until sugar dissolves.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine syrup, skim milk and peanut butter, and process until smooth. Transfer mixture to an ice cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • To make candies, in a heavy skillet over medium heat, toast peanuts, turning them so they do not burn, for about 5 minutes. Immediately transfer to food processor, or spread them out on a large baking sheet. If using a food processor, pulse gently until nuts are just broken up, about 1 minute. Otherwise, use a rolling pin to crush nuts on baking sheet.
  • In same skillet over medium heat, toast sesame seeds, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Add to peanuts in food processor or baking sheet.
  • In a large heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine the piloncillo sugar with 1 quart water. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring frequently until the piloncillo melts. Continue to cook until syrup reaches hard crack stage (285 degrees on a candy thermometer), about 1 1/2 hours. Stir in peanuts and sesame seeds. Pour mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or waxed paper. Cool. Place candy in a heavy duty plastic bag, and use a rolling pin to crush it into pea-size pieces.
  • To make peanut sauce, in a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients and process until smooth. Transfer to a tightly covered bottle, and store in refrigerator for up to one month.
  • To assemble sundaes, pour a little bit of peanut sauce into a tall glass. Place two scoops of peanut ice on top. Sprinkle with a little crushed candy and serve.

Time 40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings; makes about 20 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups roasted salted peanuts

Steps:

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and grease with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Stir together the sugar, corn syrup and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan fitted with a candy/deep-fry thermometer. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then continue to boil until it's golden brown and it reaches 340 degrees F, about 15 minutes.
  • Working quickly, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter and baking soda until smooth (it will foam and bubble up). Stir in the peanuts until evenly distributed amongst the sugar mixture.
  • Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and quickly smooth with a rubber spatula into a thin and even layer. Let harden uncovered at room temperature until cooled completely. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups lightly salted, roasted peanuts
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups water
Vegetable oil, for coating the saucepan
Softened butter for spatula

Steps:

  • In a small bowl combine peanuts, cinnamon, and cayenne. Set aside.
  • Brush the inside of a medium sized heavy saucepan with vegetable oil. Add the sugar and water to the saucepan, cook over high heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until it comes to a boil. Stop stirring, cover and cook for 3 minutes. Uncover, reduce heat to medium, and cook until the sugar is a light amber color. Stir in peanuts. This will greatly reduce the temperature of the sugar so work quickly. Once evenly mixed, pour mixture onto a sheet pan lined with a silicone baking mat or buttered parchment paper. Using a buttered spatula, spread thin. You will have to work quickly when pouring out and spreading the mixture in the pan. If necessary, in order to achieve single layer of peanuts, top with second sheet pan whose underside has been buttered. Cool completely and then break into pieces.

PEANUT BUTTER SUNDAE SAUCE



Peanut Butter Sundae Sauce image

From Sunny Anderson of the Food Network. Would be good with vanilla or chocolate ice cream. She made this sauce for Peanut Butter and Jelly Sundaes. To make her PB & J sundaes, plan ahead with this ice cream idea: Soften 1 pint vanilla ice cream, then transfer ice cream to a mixing bowl and add 1/4 cup strawberry or grape jelly. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the jelly so it is streaky and not uniformly mixed. Return to the pint container and freeze until set, about 2 hours.

PEANUT BRITTLE



Peanut Brittle image

Here is a recipe for the easiest candy to make: brittle. The only thing even remotely tricky about it is getting the sugar to the tint of brown you want -- not too light, and definitely not too dark, which can happen in a flash. You can use any nut you want with this, but do add some salt if you use unsalted nuts.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     easy, candies, dessert

Time 20m

Yield About 1 pound

Number Of Ingredients 4

Butter for greasing pan
2 cups sugar
2 cups roasted peanuts, salted or unsalted, or other nuts
Salt, if using unsalted peanuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Use a bit of butter to grease a baking sheet, preferably one with a low rim. Combine sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a heavy skillet and turn heat to medium. Stir until smooth, then cook, adjusting heat so that mixture bubbles steadily. Stir occasionally until mixture turns golden brown (which it may do rather suddenly).
  • Stir in the peanuts and a large pinch of salt, if desired. Pour mixture onto greased baking sheet and spread out. Cool for about a half-hour, then break into pieces. (You can score brittle with a knife when it has solidified slightly but not yet turned hard; that way, it will break into even squares.) Store in a covered container for up to two weeks.

2 tablespoons light corn syrup
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • For Peanut Brittle:
  • Lightly butter large baking sheet. Combine sugar, corn syrup and water in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Attach clip-on candy thermometer to side of pan. Increase heat to medium. Using wooden spoon, stir constantly but slowly until temperature reaches 300°F, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat; immediately add baking soda and stir until very foamy. Immediately stir in peanuts. Working quickly, pour out onto baking sheet. Cool completely. Coarsely chop peanut brittle. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Store in airtight container.)
  • For Ice Cream:
  • Combine milk and sugar in heavy medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to boil. Remove from heat. Whisk yolks in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in hot milk mixture. Return mixture to saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until custard thickens and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 2 minutes (do not boil). Strain into bowl. Whisk in cream. Chill.
  • Process custard in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to large container. Mix in 2 cups chopped peanut brittle. Cover and freeze. Reserve remaining brittle for garnish. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep frozen.)
  • For Chocolate Sauce:
  • Bring water and corn syrup to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low. Add both chocolates and stir until smooth. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Rewarm over low heat.) Serve warm.
  • Top ice cream with Chocolate Sauce, whipped cream and peanut brittle.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality peanut butter for the best flavor. Look for a brand that is made with 100% peanuts and no added sugars or oils.
  • If you don't have peanut sauce on hand, you can make your own by following the recipe in the article. It's easy to make and only takes a few minutes.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate peanut brittle. You can find it in most candy stores or online.
  • If you don't have whipped cream, you can use ice cream instead. Just be sure to let it soften a bit before you use it so that it's easy to scoop.
  • Garnish your sundae with chopped peanuts, chocolate chips, or peanut butter cups for a festive touch.

Conclusion:

The peanut sundae with peanut sauce and peanut brittle is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich peanut flavor and crunchy texture, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try!
