Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the peanut butter, heavy cream, light corn syrup, and brown sugar.
Stir the mixture constantly using a whisk or wooden spoon until fully combined and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for another 2 minutes, ensuring it doesn't scorch.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the kosher salt and vanilla extract. Mix until evenly incorporated.
Let the topping cool slightly before serving. It will thicken a bit as it cools.
Drizzle the warm peanut butter topping over your favorite ice cream or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
To reheat, microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring in between, until warmed through.
