Warm Cherry Sundaes Recipes

Steps:

• Put a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the cherries, cinnamon stick, sugar and cornstarch and cook until the sugar starts to melt, about 1 minute. Add the wine, bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the wine has reduced and is slightly thickened, about 4 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, remove the cinnamon stick and stir in the vinegar.
• Scoop vanilla ice cream into bowls and top with the warm cherries and red wine sauce.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream, sugar, corn syrup or honey, cocoa, and salt to a simmer, whisking until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the chocolate and let cook until the chocolate melts. Stir in butter and vanilla or liquor. Let cool slightly. Contrary to its name, hot fudge is best served warm, not piping hot.
• For assembly, make the whipped cream. Using a whisk or an electric mixer, beat the cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
• Pour a little fudge sauce into the bottoms of sundae dishes or bowls. Top with ice cream, then more hot fudge, then nuts if using. Cover all with whipped cream and a cherry if you like. Serve.

Steps:

• Arrange 6 paper muffin cases on a baking sheet. Whisk together the cream and icing sugar until stiff. Fold in the almonds and rum.
• Crumble the biscuits and put the pieces in the bottom of the paper cases. Divide the cream between them and top with a cherry. Freeze for 1-2 hrs until firm. (They will keep in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.) Remove from the freezer 20 mins before serving, and drizzle with the chocolate.

Steps:

• Place the brownies and ice cream in chilled bowls and set aside in the refrigerator. Thaw and strain the frozen cherries. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the juice from the frozen cherries, brandy and the cornstarch. In a saute pan, over high heat, melt the butter and sugar. Add the fresh and frozen cherries. Carefully pour in the brandy mixture. If it does not burst into flames spontaneously, ignite with a match. Gently swirl the pan. Soak the sugar cubes in the rum. Pour the cherries around the ice cream. Top with a glob of marshmallow cream and plant a sugar cube on top. Light the cube with a match.
• Marshmallow Cream: In a small saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, bring the water, corn syrup, and 3/4 cup of the sugar to 246 degrees F (firm ball). In the meantime, in a completely clean, dry mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar until creamy and foamy, about 2 minutes. Still whisking, sprinkle in the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and continue to whisk until the whites hold very soft peaks, about 2 minutes. While mixing on slow speed, carefully drizzle in the hot syrup. Turn the mixer to high and whisk until thick, fluffy, and just warm, about 7 minutes. Turn the mixer to low and whisk in the vanilla.

Steps:

• Heat cherries.
• Stir in 1 teaspoon brandy flavoring or brandy.
• Divide ice cream between 2 dessert dishes.
• Spoon warm cherry sauce on ice cream.
• Can substitute vanilla pudding for ice cream.

Steps:

• Drain the cherries and reserve 1/2 c of the syrup.
• Combine the cornstarch, cherry syrup, sugar, salt and cinnamon in a saucepan.
• Bring to a boil, stirring.
• Cook until the liquid is clear and has thickened.
• Remove from the heat; add the lemon juice and cherries.
• Warm the brandy in a sauce pan.
• Spoon the ice cream into two sundae glasses while the brandy warms.
• Pour the warm brandy over the fruit and ignite.

Steps:

• For the ice cream: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whip attachment, whip the cream, vanilla and almond extract on medium-high speed until it holds soft peaks.
• With the mixer running, add the condensed milk in a slow, steady stream until it's fully incorporated. Continue to whip until the mixture holds medium peaks. Add the salt and mix to combine. Spread the mixture evenly into an 8-inch-square pan. Cover the pan and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
• For the pie crust streusel: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Toss the sugar and cinnamon together in a medium bowl to combine. Roll the pie dough out until it is 1/4-inch thick (if it's pre-rolled, simply roll it a few times to flatten). Use a knife or bench scraper to cut the dough into 1-inch wide strips horizontally, then cut down in 1-inch wide strips vertically to create a bunch of small squares.
• Transfer the dough squares to the bowl with the cinnamon sugar, then drizzle with the cream. Toss the mixture until evenly combined. Transfer in a single layer to the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely.
• For the cherry sauce: Stir the cherries and lemon juice together in a medium saucepan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the sugar over the cherries and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture becomes saucy and the cherries start to soften, 4 to 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cornstarch together to combine. Sprinkle this mixture over the fruit, then whisk immediately to combine. Continue to cook until the mixture bubbles and thickens slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes, stirring frequently. Serve warm, or cool completely.
• To assemble the sundaes, spoon some sauce into bowls and swirl it around a bit. Scoop ice cream into the bowls, then spoon more sauce on top. Sprinkle each with a generous amount of pie crust crumbles, and top with whipped cream if using and garnish each with a cherry if using.
