For quite awhile I have been wanting to recreate it at home. And over the weekend, I did.Also, I thought--
"This would be a really great ice cream to give someone as a gift on their birthday or to serve at a birthday party!"
So, there you have it. And now I invite you to go make some!
Tin Roof Sundae Ice Cream
Makes about 1 1/2 quarts
1 recipe homemade vanilla ice cream
For peanuts and chocolate swirl--
1 cup dry roasted peanuts (salted are better, but no-salt is also fine)
6 oz. good quality bittersweet chocolate
2 Tbsp. butter
1-2 Tbsp. corn syrup
Melt butter and chocolate in a double boiler or heat-proof bowl placed over a pan with 1-2" of simmering water. (Make sure the bowl is larger than the pan so the bowl doesn't touch the water.)
Add the peanuts once the chocolate and butter have completely melted.
Use a fork to remove the peanuts from the chocolate--tapping and scraping to remove the the excess chocolate from the peanuts. (This is a bit tedious...but worth it.)
Place the peanuts on a layer of waxed paper. Chill in the fridge until ready to use.
Add the corn syrup to the remaining chocolate and stir until smooth. (This will make the chocolate swirl chewy and so won't freeze completely--you don't really want it to freeze.)
Freeze the vanilla ice cream custard in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer instructions.Layer ice cream, fudge sauce, and 1/4 of the chocolate-covered peanuts in an airtight container, repeating layers until all the ice cream, sauce and peanuts are used. Use a long, thin knife blade or skewer to swirl the chocolate sauce and peanuts through the ice cream. (Not too much!)
Let harden in the freezer for a few hours or until ready to serve.
Serve as is or with hot fudge sauce. (It would be FABULOUS on an old-fashioned sugar cone.)
Or what about on top of a fudgy brownie cupcake? Or at the side of some chocolate cake?Or out of the container at 10:00 PM? Or 9:00 AM?

That looks divine! You know we just got a new ice cream maker, right? ;-) We're doing your lemon one next (we tried plain vanilla first).

wow. you are amazing!!! that looks so good.
NOOOO! I am craving chocolate all the time. Big Mama can't resist something like that. I have already gained the amount of weight I said I would for the whole pregnancy and I still have 3 months to go! I guess I will indulge while I can.
This looks heavenly! What a great dessert!
That looks so sinful I can hardly even look at the gorgeous pictures!
Oh my.... I seriously feel the calories sticking to my hips just reading this. Deeeeelish!
Tin Roof is my favorite as well! Adding the peanuts sound so yummy.
This is my husband's fav! He always gets it when we go to a local ice cream shop (The Hayloft) in MI. Thanks for posting!
I have Tin Roof Sundae on the brain. I'm getting ready to make something similar using my ice cream freezer!
Good Job! :)
