Black And White Sundae Bar Recipes

BLACK-AND-WHITE SUNDAES

Steps:

• Spoon 1 tablespoon of each of the sauces into each of 4 shallow serving dishes, placing them next to each other. Place a scoop of the chocolate ice cream on the marshmallow sauce and a scoop of the vanilla on the chocolate sauce. Top each scoop of chocolate ice cream with marshmallow sauce and each scoop of vanilla with chocolate sauce.
• Add a dollop of the whipped cream to each scoop and serve immediately.
• Melt the chocolate with the cream, 6 tablespoons water, and the salt in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
• Use immediately, or let cool to room temperature, transfer to a glass jar, and refrigerate, tightly covered, for up to 2 months. Shake well before serving chilled, or gently reheat before serving.
• With a rubber spatula, scrape the marshmallow cream into a bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of warm water to the jar, screw on the lid, and shake hard. Add the liquid to the bowl and whisk until smooth. Thin the sauce with 1 to 2 tablespoons water if necessary. Use immediately or transfer to a glass jar and store at room temperature, tightly covered, for up to 3 months. Serve at room temperature.

BLACK-AND-WHITE SUNDAE BAR

Steps:

• Make the chocolate sauce: Combine chocolate and coconut oil in a medium bowl, and place over a small pot of barely simmering water.
• Melt, stirring occasionally, until no lumps remain and you've got an impossibly shiny, chocolaty sauce. (Alternatively, microwave in 30-second increments until the sauce is shiny and no lumps remain.) Season with salt and set aside.
• Make the tahini caramel: Heat half the sugar in a medium pot over medium. Once the sugar starts to melt and liquefy, gently stir the sugar using a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula until it's a nice golden-brown color, 2 to 4 minutes. (You want this to happen slowly to prevent risk of burning.)
• Scatter remaining sugar on top and cook until all the sugar is totally liquified and a dark amber color, like good maple syrup, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Slowly add in 2/3 cup water, taking care not to add it all at once or the sugar will seize. Then, add the tahini, mixing to blend well. Bring the whole thing to as simmer, season with salt and remove from heat.
• To serve, pour sauces (both will be spoonable or pourable at room temperature, no need to warm) over scoops of ice cream to suit your wants, needs, desires. Top with any combination of crumbled halvah, cocoa nibs, chopped chocolate, toasted sesame seeds, flaky salt or anything you might want on your ice cream at this moment.

BROWNIE SUNDAES

Steps:

• Melt the heavy cream, chocolate chips, and instant coffee in a bowl over simmering water until smooth, stirring occasionally. Place a brownie on each plate, top with a scoop of ice cream, and serve with warm chocolate sauce.

ICE CREAM SUNDAE BAR

Steps:

• To make the cones, slowly melt the chocolate in a microwave or a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Pour the sprinkles into a bowl. Dip the rim of a cone into the chocolate, shake off any excess, then dip it into the sprinkles. Leave upright to dry and repeat with the rest.
• Make the chocolate sauce by heating and stirring the chocolate bars and cream together in a pan over a low heat. Keep warm and transfer to a squeezy bottle when needed.
• To make the strawberry sauce, tip the berries into a pan with the sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and a splash of water. Heat gently until the strawberries start to release their juices. Mash or blend the contents of the pan, then push through a fine sieve to remove any pips. Leave to cool and transfer to a squeezy bottle or jug.
• Arrange the ice cream tubs (lids off ) in a large bowl or bucket filled with ice. Arrange the cones, squeezy bottles and assorted sprinkles, sweets and berries in bowls alongside, so that the kids can help themselves, adding the toppings of their choice.
