Ingredients
  • 3 1/2 cup Half & half
  • 8 Egg Yolks
  • 1 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1/2 cup Smooth peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 cup Unsalted dry-roasted
Directions
  1. 1
    In a medium saucepan, scald the half & half over medium heat until steam rises, then set aside.
  2. 2
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 3/4 cup of the sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla until pale and smooth.
  3. 3
    Gradually whisk the hot half & half into the egg yolk mixture to temper the eggs.
  4. 4
    Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
  5. 5
    Cook until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon and reaches 165F on a candy thermometer, about 10-15 minutes. Do not let it boil.
  6. 6
    Remove the custard from heat and stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Allow to cool slightly.
  7. 7
    Melt the white chocolate bars and stir into the warm custard until fully incorporated and smooth.
  8. 8
    Pour the white chocolate custard into a serving dish or individual bowls and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
  9. 9
    For the hot fudge, combine bittersweet chocolate, unsalted butter, evaporated milk, and remaining sugar in a saucepan.
  10. 10
    Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate is melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
  11. 11
    Spoon the hot fudge sauce over the chilled white chocolate layers.
  12. 12
    Serve immediately topped with a scoop of peanut ice cream, coarsely chopped peanuts, and mint sprigs for garnish.

Note

The ingredient list provided in the source was incomplete for the hot fudge and topping components. The directions above assume standard hot fudge ingredients (bittersweet chocolate, butter, evaporated milk, sugar) and peanuts based on the title and fragmented direction text.

Ensure the custard does not boil, or the eggs will curdle. Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.

The white chocolate layer needs time to set in the refrigerator before adding the warm fudge sauce to maintain the layered structure.

For best results, use high-quality white chocolate that contains cocoa butter for a smoother texture.
