Note
Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the warm sauce and the cold ice milk.
If the sauce becomes too thick after cooling, you can gently reheat it or add a splash more milk to reach the desired consistency.
Wheat germ is optional but adds a nice texture and nutritional boost. You can substitute with chopped nuts or omit entirely.
For a richer flavor, consider using vanilla ice cream instead of ice milk, though it will increase the calorie count.
Ensure the peanut butter is stirred well before measuring to get a consistent mix of oils and solids.
