Right before Ryan and I left for Jacksonville on Friday evening, we received a special delivery courtesy of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program.
Häagen-Dazs®ice cream. Jackpot!
I brought several of the pints of ice cream to Jacksonville with me to share with my friends during Saturday’s barbeque (BIG hit!), but left two at home to enjoy as a special treat.
Ice cream never lasts long in our house, as it is both Ryan and my favorite food. Make that ice cream the extra creamy and incredibly flavorful Häagen-Dazs® crème brulée ice cream and it doesn’t stand a chance.
Less than 20 minutes after we arrived home from Jacksonville this evening, Ryan and I were digging into one of the remaining pints of ice cream.
Since we both ate the crème brulée ice cream yesterday at the barbeque, I wanted to enjoy it in a slightly different way and put the lid back on the pint, threw it back in the freezer and told Ryan to give me 20 minutes of playtime in the kitchen to try to make something yummy to serve as a topping for the ice cream.
I initially thought about making bananas flambé, but we didn’t have any fresh bananas on hand. Knowing that we had a bunch of frozen bananas in the freezer, I changed my tune and looked in the pantry, grabbing cashew butter and vanilla extract, thinking I could make something incredibly delicious with these three ingredients.
I then Googled peanut butter ice cream topping, figuring I could use that as recipe inspiration and came upon a recipe from In Katrina’s Kitchen. I changed Katrina’s recipe to incorporate the flavors I wanted and ended up with the most delicious vanilla banana cashew butter ice cream sauce.

The hot sauce melts the ice cream fast, so eat it fast! Though that shouldn’t be a problem…
