LOADED BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE SUNDAE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar, cream and salt and whisk until combined. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until smooth and thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla bean paste; the sauce will thicken as it cools.
• Scoop vanilla ice cream on top of the blondies, then top with the butterscotch sauce, cashews and whipped cream.

PEACH MELBA SUNDAE

Steps:

• Put a sundae glass or bowl in the freezer to chill. To make the sauce, put the raspberries, sugar and lime juice in a blender, and blitz to a purée, loosening with a splash of water if necessary. Set aside. Meanwhile, whip the cream with the vanilla and icing sugar until it holds its shape, then transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle, if you like.
• Pour the champagne or prosecco (if using) into the chilled glass, then neatly layer balls of ice cream, peach wedges, raspberries, raspberry sauce and cream, finishing with a big swirl of cream on the top. Scatter with the toasted almonds and serve straight away with two spoons.

BUTTERSCOTCH PEACHES

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl with ice and water, and set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place peaches in boiling water for 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to ice water. When cool, drain and pat dry.
• Working over a bowl to catch the juice, peel skins from peaches, squeezing as much juice as possible from the skins. Slice each peach into 10 to 12 slices, and set aside with juice; discard skin and pits.
• In medium skillet over low heat, melt butter. Raise heat to medium-high and cook butter until it foams, subsides, foams again and begins to brown. As soon as butter is nut-brown, add the peaches with juices. Sauté 2 to 3 minutes, then place skillet over low heat to keep warm.
• In medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine cream, sugar, honey and salt. Place over low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar is completely melted. Raise heat to medium and let boil without stirring until it turns a rich golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. (Because of honey and cream it will appear to turn pale brown before it has caramelized; wait until it has darkened noticeably, thickened and reduced before proceeding.) Carefully pour contents of skillet into saucepan; it will boil and spatter; stir to combine. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Add vanilla or other flavoring. Serve warm or at room temperature over ice cream, with cookies on the side.

FRESH PEACH SUNDAE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a 2-quart saucepan, stir together the sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg and cinnamon. Mix in the water and juice. Bring this to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for one minute.
• Stir in the peaches and continue simmering for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peaches soften slightly. Remove from heat. Because the peaches will continue to cook in the hot syrup, you don't want to overcook them while pan is on the heat.
• Serve warm or cold over ice cream.

GRILLED BISCUIT SUNDAE WITH PEACHES AND BLUEBERRIES

Steps:

• Brush 4 of the biscuits with the melted butter and sprinkle with the demerara sugar, then bake according to the package directions (save the remaining biscuits for another use). Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice and salt. Bring to a simmer, then cook, stirring frequently and using the back of a wooden spoon to mash the berries, until the juice has thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, heat a grill pan or grill to high heat and oil the grates.
• Brush the peaches with oil and add to the grill, cut-side down. Cook, without moving the peaches, until charred grill marks develop, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the peaches, then cook until the peaches have heated through but still hold their shape, another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the grill and cut into bite-size pieces, then set aside.
• Split the biscuits open and place on the grill cut-side down. Grill until grill-marked, about 2 minutes. Tear the biscuits into large chunks.
• In parfait glasses, layer the biscuits chunks, a scoop of ice cream and blueberry sauce. Continue with another set of layers and finish with the grilled peaches and dollops of whipped cream.
