GRILLED POUND CAKE SUNDAES WITH RASPBERRY TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9 1/2 by 3 3/8-inch Bundt pan. Cream 2 sticks of the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and lemon extracts and mix well. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking soda. Add 1/3 of dry mixture to creamed mixture and beat on low until mixed. Mix in half of the sour cream. Alternate between the flour mixture and sour cream. Pour cake mixture into the Bundt pan. Bake 1 1/2 hours or until a cake tester inserted in cake comes about with a few crumbs clinging. Cool 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan and cool completely on wire rack.
• Preheat grill. Melt remaining butter and slice cake. Using a pastry brush, coat both sides of cake with butter. Grill on both sides until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from grill. Cool slightly. Cut slices into bite-size pieces. To create sundaes, fill a bowl with ice cream, add pound cake and sprinkle on toppings. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and garnish with Raspberry Topping.
• Combine all ingredients in pot and let simmer until thickened.

ROASTED FIG SUNDAES

Steps:

• Toss 16 halved fresh figs, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon each honey, lemon juice and water in a shallow baking dish. Dot with 1 tablespoon chopped butter. Roast at 425 degrees F until juicy, about 20 minutes. Spoon the juices over the figs, then continue roasting until syrupy, about 10 more minutes. Serve over vanilla ice cream.

GRILLED FIGS WITH YOGURT, CHEESE AND HONEY

Steps:

• Drain yogurt in the fridge in a cheesecloth-lined strainer for 2 hours or until thickened.
• Toss figs in mild and light olive oil; grill over medium heat until warmed through and softened. Spoon yogurt onto plate, top with warm figs and drizzle with honey and extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with hazelnuts.

ORANGE-CARAMEL NUT SUNDAES

Steps:

• Remove orange peel with vegetable peeler. Cut enough peel into very fine strips to measure 2 tablespoons. Transfer strips to heavy medium saucepan. Add sugar, juice and butter. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil gently until reduced to 1 cup, about 15 minutes. Cool sauce to lukewarm. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover sauce and oranges separately and chill. Reheat sauce to lukewarm before using.)
• Cut white pith from oranges. Slice oranges into rounds; cut rounds into quarters. Scoop frozen yogurt into large wineglasses. Drizzle sauce over. Top with oranges and hazelnuts and serve.

SOUTH-OF-THE-BORDER SUNDAES

Steps:

• Using zester, remove peel in long strips from 1 orange; reserve peel. Cut white pith from oranges. Working over bowl to collect juices and using small knife, cut between membranes of 1 orange to release segments. Transfer segments to large bowl. Squeeze juice from orange membranes into bowl with juices. Repeat with remaining oranges. Add pineapple and mango to orange segments.
• Combine 1/3 cup juice collected from oranges, reserved orange peel, brown, sugar and cinnamon in small saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil until mixture thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Discard peel. Mix syrup into fruit. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)
• Mix bananas into fruit. Scoop frozen yogurt into bowls. Spoon fruit mixture and juices over and serve.

GRILLED FIG AND ORANGE BLOSSOM YOGURT SUNDAES

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high (about 450°F to 550°F). Meanwhile, whisk the honey, water, and orange blossom water in a small bowl until combined; set aside.
• When the grill is ready, place the figs on a baking sheet and brush both sides with the honey mixture; reserve the remaining mixture for drizzling over the sundaes. Place the figs on the grill cut-side down (Keep the baking sheet handy). Cover the grill and cook until grill marks appear on the bottom, about 2 minutes.
• Using a flat metal spatula, flip the figs, cover the grill, and cook until grill marks appear on the second side and the figs begin to soften, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove the figs to the reserved baking sheet.
• To serve, scoop the desired amount of yogurt into 6 bowls. Divide the figs among the bowls, sprinkle with the pistachios, and drizzle with the remaining honey mixture.
• Serve immediately.
