Jubilee Sundaes Recipes

ITALIAN GELATO SUNDAES WITH NUTELLA

Steps:

• Place a scoop of gelato into each chilled bowl. Spoon a dollop of Nutella over each and top with another scoop or two of gelato. Top as desired.

CHERRY VANILLA JUBILEE SUNDAE

Steps:

• Place the brownies and ice cream in chilled bowls and set aside in the refrigerator. Thaw and strain the frozen cherries. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the juice from the frozen cherries, brandy and the cornstarch. In a saute pan, over high heat, melt the butter and sugar. Add the fresh and frozen cherries. Carefully pour in the brandy mixture. If it does not burst into flames spontaneously, ignite with a match. Gently swirl the pan. Soak the sugar cubes in the rum. Pour the cherries around the ice cream. Top with a glob of marshmallow cream and plant a sugar cube on top. Light the cube with a match.
• Marshmallow Cream: In a small saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, bring the water, corn syrup, and 3/4 cup of the sugar to 246 degrees F (firm ball). In the meantime, in a completely clean, dry mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar until creamy and foamy, about 2 minutes. Still whisking, sprinkle in the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and continue to whisk until the whites hold very soft peaks, about 2 minutes. While mixing on slow speed, carefully drizzle in the hot syrup. Turn the mixer to high and whisk until thick, fluffy, and just warm, about 7 minutes. Turn the mixer to low and whisk in the vanilla.

GOTHAM SUNDAE

Steps:

• After you are finished making the various sundae components, scoop ice cream into a very large oval dish or platter. Place a scoop of the pineapple and strawberry sauces on top of the ice cream with a dollop of the cocoa whipped cream. Drizzle on the butterscotch and chocolate syrups then stick 2 banana bonbons into the bowl.
• Trim the pineapple and slice into long quarters. Cut the flesh from the skin and slice each quarter in 3, lengthwise. Chop into little pieces, taking care to catch the juice. Combine the pineapple juice and rum and whisk in the cornstarch, creating a slurry. In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar to bubbling. Add the pineapple and bring to a boil. Add the slurry and cook until bubbling and the cornstarch cannot be tasted.
• Slice the strawberries, and macerate half of them in the sugar and Grand Marnier until juicy. Before serving, stir in the remaining strawberries.
• Using whisk or electric beater, beat cream until almost thickened. Add cocoa powder and confectioners' sugar and continue beating until the ingredients are blended in and the whipped cream is firm.
• Combine the water, sugar, and butter in a large saucepan and cook over high heat until light amber, about 5 minutes. Stand back as far as possible and slowly drizzle the cream into the pan. It will bubble up and may splatter, so protect your hands with an oven mitt or towel. Add the rum and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, occasionally swirling the sauce around the pan, until thickened and a rich golden brown. Strain the sauce and stir in the sweetened condensed milk. Store in a sealed container. This sauce will keep for 2 weeks in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer.
• Finely chop the chocolate and put in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the coffee and corn syrup to a simmer. Pour the mixture over the chocolate and gently stir with a whisk until smooth and blended. Store in a sealed container. This syrup will keep for 4 weeks in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer.
• Melt chocolate in a completely dry bowl or in the top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water. Pierce each of the banana chunks with 2 toothpicks. Dunk first into the chocolate to coat, then into the peanuts or coconut. Set on waxed paper-lined cookie sheet and freeze for 2 hours or overnight. For maximum flavor, let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
