Meringue Sundae With Peppery Berry Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Place the strawberry, huckleberry and dark cherry ice cream in a serving dish. Put the marshmallow cream in a piping bag (or spoon it straight from the jar) and top the ice cream with a mound of it. Decorate with the mixed berries and Candied Cranberries.
• Press the gingerbread people into the ice cream and marshmallow cream, then drizzle over the Green Ganache and Red Ganache. Finish decorating the sundae with the mint sprigs and a cherry on top.
• Place a sheet of parchment paper on a sheet pan.
• Pour 3/4 cup water and 3/4 cup of the sugar into a saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer on low heat for 3 minutes. Stir to ensure the sugar has dissolved into the water and the result is a syrup consistency.
• Add the cranberries to the pan and stir so they are covered in the syrup. Remove the pan from the heat and stir for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, remove the cranberries from the pan and add them to the prepared sheet pan. Allow the cranberries to cool and dry, about 1 hour.
• Pour the remaining sugar into a bowl. Add the cranberries and toss until they are thoroughly coated in the sugar. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
