EDIBLE CEREAL TREAT BOWLS FOR ICE CREAM SUNDAES

Steps:

• Spray the insides of the larger bowls from 2 sets of nesting small cereal bowls with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Stir in the cereal and coat thoroughly in the marshmallows. Transfer the cereal mixture to a large bowl to cool slightly until you can handle it. The mixture should still be warm.
• Spray your hands with cooking spray and work the cereal treat into the prepared cereal bowls. Spray the bottoms of the 2 smaller bowls and press into the cereal treat mixture to form bowls. Allow the cereal treats to cool to room temperature and harden.
• Once cooled, unmold the bowls, add your favorite ice cream and toppings and enjoy!

ICE CREAM TRIFLES

Steps:

• Make the cherries jubilee: In a medium saucepan, combine the cherries, sugar and grenadine over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the rum and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from the heat and let cool in the pan. Can be made in advance and refrigerated for up to 5 days.
• To assemble each of 6 trifles: Place the ice cream in a pastry bag (no tip needed). Place 1 cake round in a clear 8-ounce plastic food-safe jar (2 1/2 inches in diameter and at least 3 inches tall). Pipe about 1/4 cup of the ice cream. Top with a tablespoon of cherries jubilee. Repeat the layering with the cake, ice cream and cherries jubilee. Cover with the final layer of cake and top with some of the chocolate sauce. Cover and freeze for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes before serving.

FRUITY SUMMER SUNDAES

Steps:

• Make the brittle: oil a baking sheet and set aside. Gently heat the caster sugar in a small, non-stick frying pan, stirring until dissolved. Add the nuts. When the sugar becomes a deep caramel, pour onto the baking sheet and leave until completely cold. Snap the brittle into pieces, then pulse in a food processor to coarse crumbs. Can be made up to a week ahead. Store in an airtight container.
• For the sauce, whizz the strawberries in a food processor until smooth. Sieve into a bowl, then stir in the icing sugar. Set aside.
• To assemble the sundaes, whip the cream with the icing sugar until it just holds its shape. In a tall glass, layer up the chopped fruit, brittle, ice cream, sorbet and sauce, finishing with swirls of cream, more brittle and the whole strawberries.

RASPBERRY CREAM TRIFLE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, beat the milk, water and extract until blended. Add pudding mix; whisk for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Cover and chill until mixture is partially set. Fold in the whipped cream.
• Place half of the cake cubes in a 2 quart glass trifle bowl. Top with half of the cream mixture. Carefully spread with jam. Sprinkle with 1 cup raspberries. Layer with remaining cake cubes, cream mixture and raspberries. Garnish with chocolate curls and mint.

HOT FUDGE SUNDAE TRIFLE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together espresso, hot water, and sugar. Stir to combine; set aside.
• In the bottom of a 3 1/2-quart trifle dish, place an even layer of cake cubes, cutting pieces to fit as necessary. Using a pastry brush, brush the cake cubes with 1/3 of the reserved espresso mixture to moisten. Using an offset spatula, spread 3 cups of vanilla ice cream on top of the cake layer. Repeat process and top with a layer of cake cubes brushed with remaining espresso mixture.
• Cover trifle with plastic wrap and transfer to freezer; freeze until ice cream is set, about 1 hour and up to 1 week.
• When ready to serve, remove trifle from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Beat heavy cream to soft peaks in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add confectioner's sugar and vanilla, beat until well combined. Top trifle with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings; serve immediately with hot fudge sauce.
