Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 pints dulce de leche ice cream, softened slightly
  • 1/4 cup roasted unsalted peanuts

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Spread coconut evenly on a rimmed baking sheet; toast, tossing occasionally, until browned and fragrant, about 10 minutes.
  • (Toasted coconut can be covered and stored at room temperature up to 1 day.)
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring cream to a boil; remove from heat.
  • Add chocolate, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Let stand 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Whisk until chocolate is melted and mixture is shiny.
  • (Chocolate sauce can be cooled completely, then covered and refrigerated up to 2 days; before serving, reheat over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave.)
  • Scoop ice cream into bowls; top with warm chocolate sauce, peanuts (whole or coarsely chopped), and toasted coconut, dividing evenly.
