Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt (optional, to taste)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter, heavy cream, and light brown sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly with a whisk or silicone spatula until the mixture is smooth and starts to bubble slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Taste the sauce and, if desired, add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
Let the sauce cool for 1-2 minutes. The sauce will thicken as it cools slightly.
Serve warm over ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or other desserts. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
To reheat, microwave the sauce in 10-second increments, stirring in between, until it reaches the desired consistency.
