Yield Makes 8 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

For chocolate layer
Vegetable oil for greasing pan
7 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup salted dry-roasted peanuts (4 oz)
For peanut butter layer
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (not "natural")
3/4 cup confectioners sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chilled heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
For hot fudge sauce
1/3 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Make chocolate layer:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil, allowing 2 inches of foil to hang over 2 opposite ends of pan, and lightly brush foil (except overhang) with oil.
  • Melt chocolate with butter, sugar, and salt in a double boiler or a large metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, whisking occasionally, until smooth. Remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat and whisk in eggs and vanilla, then stir in peanuts.
  • Pour batter into baking pan and bake until set and edges are slightly puffed, about 15 minutes. Transfer cake in pan to a rack to cool completely.
  • Make peanut butter layer:
  • Beat cream cheese, peanut butter, confectioners sugar, and salt in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until combined well, about 4 minutes.
  • Beat cream with vanilla in a bowl with cleaned beaters at medium-high speed until it just holds stiff peaks, then gently fold into peanut butter mixture until just combined.
  • Spread mixture evenly on top of chocolate layer and freeze, pan covered with foil, until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Make hot fudge sauce:
  • Bring cream, syrup, sugar, cocoa, salt, and chocolate to a boil in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring until chocolate is melted. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 3 minutes, then remove from heat. Stir in vanilla until incorporated. Cool sauce to warm.
  • To serve:
  • Carefully lift cake from pan by grasping overhang. Trim 1/4 inch from edges of cake and discard, then cut into 8 bars. Peel off foil and serve bars with sauce.

Time 2h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
½ cup milk
½ cup cold water
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup smooth peanut butter, at room temperature
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon rum-flavored extract
1 ⅓ cups milk chocolate chips
¾ cup 18% cream, at room temperature
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Blend flour, eggs, milk, cold water, and butter together in a food processor or blender until smooth, about 30 seconds. Scrape batter off the sides with a rubber spatula and blend 15 seconds more. Place batter in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour.
  • Beat peanut butter in the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment until smooth and creamy. Beat confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, into creamed peanut butter, mixing well after each addition. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and rum-flavored extract and mix well. Store peanut butter filling in an air-tight container until 30 minutes before needed.
  • Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Remove the skillet from the burner; add a scant 1/4 cup batter to the center of the pan and swirl and tilt immediately to spread the batter evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Return the skillet to the heat. Cook crepe until edges appear slightly dry and pull away from the pan, about 1 minute. Gently slip a thin spatula under the crepe and gently flip. Cook the second side until lightly browned on the bottom, 45 to 60 seconds. Transfer crepe to a plate. Repeat until all the batter is used, separating each crepe with waxed or parchment paper.
  • Melt chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Mix cream and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract into the melted chocolate; cook, stirring frequently, until chocolate sauce is thickened, about 20 minutes.
  • Spread peanut butter filling over each crepe and drizzle warm chocolate sauce over filling. Fold crepe in half or roll crepe around filling for Suzette-style crepes.

PEANUT BUTTER BANANA FRITTERS DRIZZLED WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE



Peanut Butter Banana Fritters Drizzled with Chocolate Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups flour
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch sea salt
Small pinch baking soda
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup smooth organic peanut butter
2/3 cup milk
1 egg
Peanut or Canola oil, for deep frying
1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 cup water, for double boiler

Steps:

  • To make the fritters: Combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl and mix. Add the bananas, peanut butter, milk, and egg and whisk until the consistency is such that it can be balled up in a spoon. In a medium sauce pan, heat the peanut oil to 375 degrees F. Using a teaspoon, delicately spoon the peanut-butter-banana batter into the oil, a few balls at a time and deep fry until they fluff up and become crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Strain on wire rack.
  • To make the chocolate sauce: In a pot, bring a cup of water to a simmer. Add a large metal bowl over top of the pot. In the metal bowl, add the chocolate chunks and whipping cream, then whisk until it melts together.
  • Generously drizzle the chocolate sauce over the fritters and serve.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use good quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 55% is a good option.
  • To make the sauce extra smooth, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
  • If you don't have peanut butter on hand, you can substitute another nut butter, such as almond butter or cashew butter.
  • This sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • To reheat the sauce, simply microwave it on low power for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until it is warmed through.
  • This sauce is delicious on ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, waffles, or fruit.

Conclusion:

This chocolate peanut butter sauce is a rich, decadent, and easy-to-make sauce that is perfect for all sorts of desserts. It is made with just a few simple ingredients and can be ready in just a few minutes. Whether you are serving it on ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, waffles, or fruit, this sauce is sure to be a hit.
