Tin Roof Sundae Pie - Week 35

Peanuts, chocolate syrup, and whipped cream over vanilla ice cream in a tasty crust served with a cherry on top make any warm Sunday better!

Legend claims that soda was outlawed to be served on Sundays in the late 1800's; however they could serve ice cream with syrup on top thus the ice cream sundae had begun. A Tin Roof Sundae was extra special because it contained the addition of salty peanuts straight from the can; apparently the peanuts made such a racket coming out of the can that it sounded similar to the sound of a tin roof.

This was a nice treat for a mid afternoon Sunday. I am sure it will be a favorite in your home too!


Ingredients:
4 c. Corn Flakes cereal
½ c. Peanut Butter
½ c. Light Corn Syrup
1 qt. Vanilla ice cream
¼ c. salted peanuts
½ c. chocolate syrup
cherries, optional






Directions:
Lightly grease a 9” pie pan. 
Mix together cereal, peanut butter, and corn syrup.
Press mixture into pan. Spread softened ice cream into crust. Top with chopped peanuts. Freeze until firm. 
Drizzle each slice with chocolate syrup and add cherries before serving.

What is you favorite thing to do on a lazy Sunday afternoon?
