Tin Roof Sundae Ice Cream Recipe (1)

When I was a kid, tin roof sundae was one of my very favorite ice cream flavors. But now I can hardly ever find it in the store. Which is sad, because it is sooo good! I decided it was time to create my own version. And of course it was every bit as yummy as I remembered. Actually, it was even better!

My husbandshares my love of Tin Roof Sundae Ice Cream, and hedeclared this version a winner after one bite. It is wonderful in an ice cream cone, but I wouldn’t complain if I had to eat it in a bowl. 🙂

With a rich and creamy vanilla base, an ooey gooey ripple of fudge, and plenty of crunchy chocolate covered peanuts, every bite is scrumptious! Itdoes take a little bit of time to make, but trust me, it will be worth it!

Tip: make a double batch of thechocolate covered peanuts. They are irresistible all by themselves. 🙂

    You really should have acknowledged David Lebovitz or said this recipe was adapted from the Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz (published in 2011).I noticed you made a few substitutions with chocolate chips and vanilla flavoring but really it is his recipe and would have made you appear credible but you decided to act like it’s all your own recipe and that’s a real shame.

      I’ve heard of David Lebovitz, but I’ve never actually seen his book, so my recipe didn’t come from him. I actually found the idea from The Brown Eyed Baker, so it’s possible she was inspired by his recipe. I do love ice cream though, so I ought to check out The Perfect Scoop! And if I share a recipe, I will give him credit. 🙂
