NAUGHTY CHOCOLATE SUNDAE

Steps:

• To Make the Sauce: Melt the chocolate with the butter (you can do this in the mircowave) until there are no lumps. Remember to stir this while heating.
• Once melted, leave to cool for 5 minutes and then swirl in the cream. If mixture curdles- add more cream. Sift in the icing sugar and stir.
• When ready to use- put this mixture into a pan and add the syrup. Heat this and stir until the sauce is pourable and add to the sundae (below).
• Sundae: Put the ingredients into large wine glasses or sundae bowls, varying different layers in. Fill to the top.
• Pour the warm sauce over the top and spinkle afew biscuit crumbs on top. Serve warm.

CHOCOLATE AND VANILLA SUNDAES

Steps:

• For the chocolate sauce: Place the cream and chocolate chips in a bowl set over simmering water and stir just until the chocolate melts. Add the honey and coffee and stir until smooth. Set aside.
• To assemble the sundaes: Place 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream and 1 scoop of chocolate ice cream in each dish and drizzle with the chocolate sauce. Sprinkle the peanuts over the top. Serve any extra sauce on the side.

HOT FUDGE MONSTER SUNDAE

Steps:

• Add the vanilla and cookie dough ice cream to a glass ice cream dish or bowl. Top with a generous drizzle of Hot Fudge Sauce and some chopped pecans. Wedge a whole Chocolate Chip Cookie into the dish. Top with whipped cream and a cherry. Enjoy!
• Combine the cream, corn syrup, sugar, butter, cocoa and salt in a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until smooth.
• Remove from the heat and add the chocolate and vanilla. Stir until combined and smooth. Serve warm over your favorite ice cream or sundae!
• Line 3 baking sheets with parchment.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat on medium speed until just combined. Add the flour, baking soda and kosher salt and mix on low speed until just combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in the chocolate chunks using a wooden spoon or spatula.
• Use a 1/4-cup scoop to scoop the cookies, making sure to scrape the scoop against the side of the bowl to flatten off the top. Scoop onto the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart to give them space to spread while baking. Sprinkle a pinch or two of sea salt on top of each cookie dough mound. Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake until golden brown, 17 to 18 minutes. Let the cookies cool and crisp up on the baking sheets.

NUTTY CARAMEL & CHOC SUNDAES

Steps:

• Put the chocolate and 100ml milk in a small pan, and put the caramel, peanut butter and 100ml milk in another pan. Gently melt both, stirring until saucy. Set aside to cool.
• Give the sauces a good stir to loosen, then layer the 2 sauces, biscuit bits, peanuts and ice cream in 6 sundae glasses or bowls, and eat straight away.

SUPER-CHOCOLATE SUNDAE CAKE BAR

Steps:

• For the cake: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch cake pan with aluminum foil and coat it with cooking spray.
• Beat the cake mix, oil, egg and 1/4 cup water in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Let stand a few minutes until no longer tacky, and then pat into the prepared pan.
• Bake until the edges are set, the cake has deflated and the top is no longer wet and shiny, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Spread the softened ice cream over the cake in an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
• For the chocolate sauce: Combine the chocolate, cream, corn syrup, butter and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk periodically as the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the sauce starts to boil, turn down the heat. Cool 15 minutes before serving. Transfer to a bowl or small pitcher.
• Let the cake stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving.
• Whip the cream with the sugar in a chilled medium bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the ice cream layer to cover.
• Use the foil to lift the cake out of the pan and place on a serving platter. Slice and serve along with the chocolate sauce and your favorite toppings, such as chocolate sprinkles, chocolate chips, crushed chocolate wafer cookies, maraschino cherries and chocolate-covered raisins, nuts and pretzels.

CHOCOLATE WAFFLE SUNDAES WITH FLAMBéED CHERRIES

Steps:

• Make the waffles: Put the milk in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave until warm, about 1 minute. Remove 1/2 cup of the warm milk to a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast on top and set aside until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir the cocoa powder into the remaining 1 cup warm milk and set aside 5 minutes.
• Whisk the egg, vegetable oil, sugar and vanilla into the cocoa mixture. In a large bowl, whisk the flour and salt, then add the egg-cocoa mixture and the yeast mixture and stir until combined. (It's OK if there are some lumps.) Fold in the chocolate chips. Cover and set aside until the batter is almost doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 250˚ F. Heat a waffle iron to medium high. Brush with melted butter, then add 2/3 cup to 1 cup batter and cook until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a baking sheet, then repeat to make more waffles. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven to keep the waffles warm.
• Make the flambéed cherries: Combine the cherries, sugar, cinnamon stick, salt and water in a large skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring. Cover, reduce the heat to medium low and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the cherries are softened, 4 to 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the rum. Return to medium-high heat and carefully tilt the pan to ignite the rum, then swirl the pan until the flame burns out. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to simmer until the sauce coats the back of a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the butter and swirl the pan until melted.
• Divide the waffles among plates. Top each with a scoop of ice cream, then spoon the cherries and sauce on top.

DARK CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO SUNDAE

Steps:

• Add the chocolate to a heatproof bowl. Pour over the hot espresso and let sit for 1 minute. Stir until completely smooth.
• Scoop the gelato into bowls, pour over the espresso ganache and top with the chocolate covered espresso beans. Add the biscotti and enjoy.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE SUNDAE

Steps:

• Put all the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and peanut butter into a saucepan and put it on the heat to melt, stirring occasionally. In about 2 minutes you should have your sauce ready. When everything has melted add 3 to 4 tablespoons of boiling water to thin the sauce.
• Get out 4 sundae glasses and put a scoop of toffee or caramel ice cream in each, followed by 1 of the chocolate and then another of vanilla.
• Pour over some chocolate peanut butter fudge sauce and sprinkle with salted peanuts.
• Stick a chocolate cigar cookie in each sundae glass, hand them round and wait for people to weep with gratitude.

CHOCOLATE SUNDAES WITH PEAR & CHRISTMAS PUD

Steps:

• First, make some shavings from the bar of chocolate by dragging a large knife over the surface. You only need a little - enough to top the sundaes. Set the shavings aside and break the remaining chocolate into a saucepan. Add the remaining sauce ingredients and heat gently, stirring, until the chocolate melts and you have a smooth glossy sauce.
• Crumble the cake or pudding into sundae glasses and drizzle over the alcohol or pear juice. Top with the pear quarters and ice cream. Drizzle over the chocolate sauce and top with the hazelnuts and chocolate shavings.
