PB&J ice cream sundae

I looooooove the show Cooking for Real with Sunny Anderson. The other day she made a PB&J ice cream sundae. I know.... WOW why have I never thought of that?!?! Well, I recreated it, and let me just say that the "Oos" and "Mmmms" that she did on the show were NOT an exaggeration. I literally couldn't speak! Here are the ingredients you will need (or the ingredients I used):

Ice cream part:
1/2 big jar of grape/strawberry/whatever kind of jelly you like
1 pint of vanilla ice cream

Sauce part:
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1/2 cup brown sugar, light or dark
Hefty scoop of peanut butter (I used creamy, Sunny used crunchy)

Sandwich part:
2-4 pieces old bread, the stale-er the better
3 tbsp of butter
White sugar, as much as you like

Here's whatcha do...

1. FIRST (do this HOURS) ahead of time..
Take all of the ice cream out of the pint container and put in large mixing bowl.

2. Mix your jelly into the ice cream. Your ice cream will get really runny and melty but that's okay.

3. Once your jelly is mixed in WELL, pour mixture back into pint container.

4. Freeze ice cream mixture until completely frozen again. This is so beautiful when finished!!!!

Once the ice cream is in the freezer...

1. Combine the heavy cream and brown sugar in a medium saucepan and cook on medium heat.

2. Bring to a rolling boil.

3. Once boiling, remove from heat and add your peanut butter. The heated mix will melt the peanut butter perfectly.

Okay, while the brown sugar and heavy cream are getting to that boiling point....

1. Put your butter in a medium skillet.

2. While butter is melting, cut your bread into little cubes, about the size of a crouton.

3. Ad bread to buttered skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides. This took a little while.

4. Once golden brown, remove from skillet and sprinkle with that delicious white sugar :)!!!!

You're done!!! Get a pretty bowl and scoop out some of your jelly ice cream and top with the peanut butter sauce!!! Then add as many croutons as you want! Yummmmo!!!

The sauce will stay in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks if jarred properly :) Makes a great gift! Also makes a great addition to chocolate cake and plain toast!
