CHOCOLATE CHERRY ICE CREAM FLOAT

Steps:

• Place the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat; when it comes just to a simmer, pour it over the chocolate. Let sit undisturbed for 1 minute, then add the salt and whisk the chocolate and cream together until smooth.
• Scoop 2 large or 3 medium scoops of ice cream into each of four pint glasses. Drizzle each glass with 2 spoonfuls of the chocolate sauce. Top off each float with cherry beer. Add some brandied cherries and a drizzle of the cherry syrup if desired. Serve.

CHOCOLATE-CHERRY RUM FLOAT

Steps:

• Place 4 float glasses in the freezer to chill.
• Place 1 1/2 ounces of rum in each chilled glass, followed by 2 scoops of ice cream. Top with cream soda. Serve immediately.

CHERRY COLA FLOAT

Steps:

• In a small pan over medium heat, add the sugar and 2 cups water and stir to dissolve. Bring to a boil, remove from the heat, and cool.
• In the saucepan with the cooled sugar syrup, whisk in the maraschino cherry syrup, half-and-half, and vanilla. Pour into an 8 by 8-inch cake pan and freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Fill 4 tall glasses 3/4 full with cola. Add 2 scoops of the frozen cherry mixture to each glass and top with a cherry. Add 1-ounce vanilla vodka, if using, to each glass.
• Scrape the remaining frozen cherry mixture into a resealable freezer container and keep in the freezer for up to 1 week.

CHERRY-CHOCOLATE LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x4-inch loaf pan with 1 teaspoon butter and reserve.
• Whisk flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl.
• Cream 1/2 cup butter and sugar together in another bowl with a spatula or an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time with a whisk or an electric mixer, fully blending in the first egg before adding the next. Stir in yogurt and vanilla extract.
• Chop pitted cherries coarsely with a knife, or by pulsing on and off a few times in a food processor. Add to the wet ingredients along with the chocolate chunks and chopped walnuts. Stir briefly to combine. Batter may look curdled, but don't worry.
• Pour in the flour mixture and mix with a spatula until all the flour has disappeared. Transfer batter into the prepared loaf pan, making sure to smooth the top evenly and fill in the corners. Tap pan on the counter to release any air pockets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until nicely browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let bread rest in the pan for 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
• While bread is resting, combine powdered sugar and milk in a bowl for icing, adding more milk as needed to reach a thin, runny consistency.
• Brush icing over loaf, allowing to drip down the sides. Let cool completely before slicing and serving, about 20 minutes more.

CAPTAIN MORGAN CHERRY VANILLA COLA FLOAT RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the cherry vanilla syrup: Add the frozen cherries, maple syrup, cherry juice, and vanilla bean seeds to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 6-7 minutes, or until the cherries are very soft. Using a potato masher or a fork, smash the cherries as much as possible. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking for 15-20 minutes, until the syrup has reduced and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Strain the syrup into a small bowl and stir in the Captain Morgan Cherry Vanilla Spiced Rum. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until the syrup is cold, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
• Make the white chocolate cornflake bark: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Spread the cornflakes in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Using a spoon, generously drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cornflakes in a single direction, making sure the cereal is almost, but not completely, covered. Freeze the bark until solid, at least 20 minutes or up to overnight.
• Break the bark into playing card-sized pieces and store in the freezer until ready to serve.
• Make the cola float: Add 1½ ounces of Captain Morgan Cherry Vanilla to each of 2 float glasses. Pour 12 ounces of cola into each glass, then top each with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with half of the cherry vanilla syrup. Garnish each float with a few pieces of cornflake bark and finish with the maraschino cherries. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
