Cook, stirring constantly and scraping the sides and the bottom of the pan, until the sauce is thick and coats the back of the spoon, about 10 minutes. Pour into a heat-proof container and let cool a bit before making the sundaes.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining maple syrup with the nuts. Scoop the ice cream into dishes. Top with the warm sauce and maple nuts. Grate some of the chocolate over the top and serve with a dollop of crème fraîche and more chocolate shavings if you like.

RUM WALNUT SAUCE

Steps:

• First melt the butter over medium heat in a 3-1/2 quart saucepan, stir in the brown sugar, and cook until the sugar fully melts.
• Then rapidly stir in the lemon zest, the vanilla, the walnuts, the cinnamon, and the allspice and cook gently over medium heat until all the ingredients thoroughly come together.
• Then just before you're ready to serve, slowly pour in the rum, stir it quickly into the sauce, and cook it-slowly stirring all the while-for about 3 minutes to marry the ingredients and to drive off all but the essence of the liqueur.
