TART CHERRY AND RED WINE SUNDAES

Steps:

• Combine 4 cups frozen cherries, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch in a saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until the sugar starts to melt, about 1 minute. Add 2 cups dry red wine, bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, remove the cinnamon stick and stir in 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar. Serve over vanilla ice cream.

CHERRY CREAM SUNDAES

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.

WARM CHERRY SUNDAES

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine wine or cherry juice and sugar; bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add cherries and return to a boil. Remove from heat and transfer cherries to a bowl, leaving liquid in pan. Let stand 5 minutes. Strain any juice that has accumulated from cherries back into the pan. Bring liquid back to a boil and boil over high heat until volume is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and almond extracts. Let cool until lukewarm. Scoop ice cream into 6 stemmed wine glasses or dessert dishes. Top with equal amounts of cherry sauce and whipped topping. Garnish with almonds and a chocolate covered cherry.

ICE CREAM COOKIE SUNDAES

Steps:

• Place the scoops of chocolate chip cookie dough and chocolate ice cream into a sundae glass. Take the Yummy Slice-and-Bake Cookies and break them up into small pieces over the ice cream. Heat the caramel and hot fudge sauces and drizzle over the cookies and ice cream, then sprinkle over some mini chocolate candies.
• Squirt on some whipped cream and top with sprinkles or other toppings as you fancy. Finish with a cherry on the top.
• Combine the flour, instant coffee, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Stir together and set aside. Cream together the butter with the brown and granulated sugar, scraping the bowl once while mixing. Add the eggs, mixing one at a time, and then the vanilla. Add the chocolate-hazelnut spread and peanut butter and mix. Add the dry ingredients in increments, mixing gently after each addition. Scrape the bowl once and mix again. Add the chopped chocolate candies and pecans and mix gently to combine. Add more of either ingredient if needed.
• Spoon the dough on a long piece (or 2 shorter pieces) of waxed paper or plastic wrap. Carefully roll the dough inside the wrap, pressing gently to get it to form into a firm cylinder. Refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours, or place in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Slice off as many cookies as you'd like and lay the slices on a baking sheet. (The thicker the slices, the farther apart the cookies will need to be; they bake up flat.) Bake until nice and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Yield: 30 cookies

CHURRO ICE CREAM SUNDAE

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with plastic wrap.
• Using a scoop, place 4, ½-cup balls of ice cream onto the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 1 hour. Once hardened, shape ice cream with hands to round out bottoms.
• Whisk egg white until frothy in a medium bowl. Place Corn Flakes in a shallow dish. Dip ice cream in egg to coat completely and then coat in corn flakes. Return to prepared pan and freeze for 4 hours.
• Stir sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan to 375⁰F. Add ice cream in batches of 2 and fry for 15 seconds, turning gently with a slotted spoon. Remove with slotted spoon.
• Remove and place in 4 bowls, adding a ¼ cup of whipped topping on each. Distribute pineapple and raspberries evenly among the bowls. Sprinkle each sundae with 1 tsp cinnamon sugar.
• Tip: To make this dish even more authentic, drizzle with chocolate sauce and dulce de leche.

FRESH CHERRY SUNDAES

Steps:

• Let the ice cream stand in the refrigerator until softened.
• Scoop the ice cream into a bowl and stir in the chopped cherries and 2 tablespoons of the almonds.
• Return bowl to freezer and freeze for 1 ½ hours.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the halved cherries, jam and cornstarch.
• Bring to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring, and cook for 1 minute or until thickened.
• Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
• Serve the ice cream with warm or room temperature cherry sauce. Sprinkle with remaining almonds.

NO-CHURN CHERRY PIE SUNDAES

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.
