Adult Ice Cream Sundae for Two

Make this sundae to your own taste…the recipe called for coffee ice cream (which I think would be wonderful) however they were out of that at my local grocery store so I got a creme brulee instead.  The butterscotch sauce is best if slightly warm.

BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE
1/4 cup butter
1 tbsp corn syrup
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup whipping cream
2 tbsp toasted chopped pecans (almonds are also very good)

SUNDAE
1/2 cup coarsely crumbled meringue pieces (or use a biscotti cookie)
Coffee ice cream …or your favourite
1/2 cup whipping cream whipped
Fresh Berries for garnish

1. Place butter, corn syrup and sugar in a saucepan.  Heat, stirring to dissolve sugar, add cream, then bring to a boil.  Boil 1 minute.  Add pecans and pour into a pitcher and allow to cool.  Keep refrigerated, but use at room temperature.  Makes about 1 cup.
2. Take a large bowl or tall glass.  Layer half the meringue pieces in the base.  Top with scoops of ice cream and butterscotch sauce.  Repeat, then top with cream and fresh berries.  Serve with two parfait spoons.
