Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Sundae
by Nigella. Featured in NIGELLA EXPRESSIntroduction
This is the ultimate ice cream sundae. Obviously, if you're not a peanut-eater, it won't be for you, but for everyone else it is the stuff of dreams. Last time I made this sauce, I nearly had to make another batch, I'd eaten so much before even getting the ice creams out of the freezer.
I made a jar of this for a friend to take home for her supper recently. As soon as she'd had it she sent a text saying, "Bottle that sauce, make millions". Well, maybe, but until then, here's the recipe.

Show more commentsIn the Nigella Express TV show she uses 200 ml of condensed milk instead of the double cream and golden syrup, so if anyone had condensed milk on hand instead that would also do very well.
Going to do this for my friends on Friday. What a fabulous summer treat.
Love this recipe. But try it with dark chocolate and crunchy peanut butter. Even better, in fact spoon out of the jar good!
WOW! Simply amazing! Not a fan of peanut butter but purchased one at the store to taste... Left it in the refrigerator for weeks & realised this was the perfect recipe to use it all up. Did NOT disappoint!
I love peanut butter so this for me is a must try. But may I say it would taste yummy even with French vanilla icecream :)
This is truly amazing. I have made this version, and the version featured on the TV series where Nigella uses condensed milk instead of cream and golden syrup. I prefer the condensed milk version. Be sure to add a splash of water if using the condensed milk otherwise you will end up with a very thick caramel - not that that's a bad thing! The salted peanuts are essential. Toasted flake almonds go well, too.
Yummy!
Hi, I made this absolutely awesome yummy fudge sauce and would like to thank you for such a delicious recipe.
OMG, soo delicious. I only use roasted/salted peanuts as I like more salt and less sugar. I could eat half of this recipe by myself.
amazingly delicious! i had some leftover, and it's perfect to dip banana and other fruit in
I don't like peanut butter but this tastes just like a snickers bar. Very naughty but you only need a bit!
One of my favourite recipes! It is fantastic and so quick and easy to make.
