Ingredients:
- Vanilla ice cream
- Hot fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Salted peanuts, chopped
- Whipped cream
- Maraschino cherry for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Hot Fudge Sauce:
- You can use your favorite store-bought hot fudge sauce or make a simple homemade version by melting chocolate with sweetened condensed milk and butter. Heat the ingredients together in a saucepan over low heat until smooth.
- Assemble the Parfait:
- In a tall glass or dessert dish, begin by scooping a layer of vanilla ice cream into the bottom.
- Add Hot Fudge Sauce:
- Pour a generous amount of hot fudge sauce over the ice cream. Allow it to slightly harden.
- Sprinkle Chopped Peanuts:
- Sprinkle a handful of chopped salted peanuts over the hot fudge layer. The peanuts add a crunchy texture to the parfait.
- Repeat Layers:
- Repeat the layers by adding more vanilla ice cream, hot fudge sauce, and chopped peanuts until you reach the top of the glass.
- Finish with Whipped Cream:
- Top the parfait with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
- Garnish:
- Garnish the parfait with a maraschino cherry on top.
- Serve Immediately:
- Serve the Peanut Buster Parfait immediately while the ice cream is still cold, and the hot fudge is warm.
