Banana and Chocolate Fudge Sundae

Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 100g unsalted butter
  • 100g (1/2 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
  • 125mls (1/2 cup) thin cream
  • 2 tbs cocoa powder
  • 4 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1L vanilla ice-cream
  • 80g (1/2 cup) chocolate-coated peanuts, roughly chopped

Method

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the brown sugar, cream and cocoa powder and stir over low heat for 3 minutes or until smooth and well combined. (See microwave tip.) Remove sauce from heat and set aside for 30 minutes or until thickened to desired consistency.
  2. To assemble the sundaes, divide the bananas evenly among 4 serving glasses or dishes. Pour about 2 tbs of the sauce over the bananas. Top each with 2 scoops of ice-cream, drizzle with the remaining sauce and then sprinkle with the chocolate-coated peanuts. Serve immediately.

Notes


  • Make-ahead tip: The sauce can be made up to 5 days ahead of serving. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge. Before serving, warm it gently over low heat until it's a pouring consistency.
    Preparation time: 15 mins (+ 30 mins cooling time).
    Microwave tip: Place the butter, brown sugar, cream and cocoa powder into a small microwave-safe, heat-resistant bowl or jug. Cook, uncovered, for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking, on Medium-High/650watts/70% until smooth and well combined.
