Two of our all-time favourite movie snacks, choc tops and popcorn, rolled into one dessert? Sounds good to us!

3 cups (35g) caramel popcorn, plus extra to serve
1/2 cup (75g) roasted peanuts, chopped
1.25L vanilla ice cream, softened
150g dark (70%) chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup (50g) coconut oil
Store-bought toasted waffles or homemade waffle shards to serve

Waffle shards

1/4 firmly packed cup (60g) brown sugar
1/3 cup (75g) caster sugar
125g unsalted butter, melted, cooled
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup (110g) plain flour

Method

1.

For the waffle shards, Preheat oven to 180°C. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl until a dough forms. Roll out between two pieces of baking paper to 3mm thick. Transfer to a baking tray and remove the top piece of baking paper. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and place an inverted cooling rack on top, pressing down to create a cross pattern. Remove and set aside to cool. Cut into shards.
2.

For the sundae, place the popcorn in a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. Fold the popcorn and peanuts through the ice cream, then refreeze for 1 hour or until firm.
3.

To make chocolate topping, place the chocolate and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch water). Stir until melted, then set aside to cool slightly.
4.

Meanwhile, cut waffles into wedges. Arrange waffle wedges (or shards, if using) in cups or glasses and add scoops of ice cream. Pour over chocolate sauce and serve with extra popcorn.
