Tin Roof Sundae Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Warm the milk, sugar, salt and 1/2 cup (125 ml) of the cream in a medium saucepan. With a sharp paring knife, scrape the flavorful seeds from the vanilla bean and add them, along with the pod, to the hot milk mixture. Cover, remove from the heat, and let steep at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Rewarm the vanilla-infused mixture. Pour the remaining 1 cup (250 ml) cream into a large bowl and set a mesh strainer on top. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
• Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer and stir it into the cream to cool. Remove the vanilla bean, wipe it clean of any egg bits, and add it back to the custard. Stir in the vanilla and stir until cool over an ice bath. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator.
• When ready to churn the ice cream, remove the vanilla bean (it can be rinsed and reused). Freeze the ice cream in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. While the ice cream is freezing, chop the peanuts into bite-sized pieces.
• Fold the peanut pieces into the frozen ice cream as you remove it from the machine, and layer it with Fudge Ripple.

Steps:

• For chocolate-caramel sauce:
• Stir first 4 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves, occasionally brushing down pan sides with wet pastry brush. Increase heat and boil until syrup is deep amber, swirling pan occasionally, about 10 minutes. Turn off heat. Add cream and butter (mixture will bubble up). Stir until any caramel bits dissolve. Stir in salt and vanilla. Add chocolate; stir until melted and smooth. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Transfer sauce to medium bowl; cover and chill. Rewarm before using.
• For ice cream:
• Bring milk, 6 tablespoons cocoa nibs, sugar, and corn syrup just to boil in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat; cover. Steep 20 minutes.
• Whisk egg yolks and cornstarch in medium bowl until blended; gradually whisk in warm milk mixture. Return custard to same saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until custard thickens and just begins to boil, 2 to 3 minutes. Strain custard into large bowl; discard nibs. Whisk in cream and coarse salt. Chill custard until cold.
• Process custard in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to container; mix in remaining 6 tablespoons cocoa nibs. Cover and freeze at least 6 hours and up to 2 days.
• For each sundae, place 2 scoops ice cream in short tumbler; spoon warm sauce over. Sprinkle with Chili-Lime Peanuts.
• Bits of shell-roasted cocoa beans; available at many specialty foods stores and from chocosphere.com.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325° and prepare an 8x8" glass pan with cooking spray.
• Place eggs, butter, and vanilla in a small mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed for 1 minute. Add brownie mix all at once. Mix on medium/low speed until thoroughly incoporated (mixture will be very thick).
• Spread brownie mixute into prepared pan, and place in the oven. Bake for 30 mins, or until a toothpick tests clean. Do NOT overcook brownies. This is a fudgey brownie recipe, and if they are overcooked the bottom will be very tough.
• Turn oven off and as soon as you take the brownies out, spread the marshmallow cream on top. Sprinkle peanuts evenly over the cream, and sprinkle chocolate chips over the nuts. Put back in the oven until chocolate is melted (note: chocolate chips don't change their shape as they melt, so watch for them to become glossy). Remove pan from oven and spread chocolate evenly over the nuts.
• Chill. When ready to serve, remove from fridge and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before cutting.
• Note: the chilling the brownies is an issue of preference. The texture of the final product is far too gooey while it's still warm. Chilling and bringing to room temperature keeps things firm and makes cutting them more clean.
• Variations:.
• Instead of marshmallow cream: caramel ice cream topping (which does not become firm when chilled), crunchy peanut butter, toffee bits, mini marshmallows, coconut flakes.
• Instead of chocolate chips: peanut butter chips, cinnamon chips (these will make this dessert very sweet).
• Instead of peanuts: chopped walnuts, pecans, almonds, candied cherries.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease bottom only of 13 x 9" pan. In large bowl, combine brownie mix, hot water, oil and egg. Beat 50 strokes with spoon.
• Spread in prepared pan.
• Bake for 30 - 35 minutes. Remove from oven; immediately spread marshmallow creme over baked base. Sprinkle evenly with peanuts; top with candy bar sections. Return to oven for 2 minutes. Spread melted chocolate evenly to cover. Cool completely.
