How to Make Mexican Ice Cream Sundaes With Cinnamon Chocolate Sauce

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread 1 cup of shredded coconut on a rimmed baking sheet.
Toast, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring 1 cup heavy cream to a boil.
Remove from heat and immediately add 6 ounces of chopped semi-sweet chocolate, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Let stand for 1-2 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
Whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and shiny.
Remove ice cream from the freezer 15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
Scoop ice cream into bowls.
Drizzle generously with the warm cinnamon chocolate sauce.
Top with 1/4 cup toasted coconut and 1/4 cup salted peanuts per sundae.
