Ingredients

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the peanut butter, heavy cream, light corn syrup, and brown sugar.

Step 2

Stir the mixture constantly using a whisk or wooden spoon until fully combined and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for another 2 minutes, ensuring it doesn't scorch.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the kosher salt and vanilla extract. Mix until evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Let the topping cool slightly before serving. It will thicken a bit as it cools.

Step 6

Drizzle the warm peanut butter topping over your favorite ice cream or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Step 7

To reheat, microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring in between, until warmed through.
