Paradise
Sundae
Tips:
This is my idea of something good, and it's very easy to make.Of
course you can change it around to suit your particular taste;
however, the only caveat is that it must be served immediately,
as it contains ice cream. Promise me you will use a high-quality
ice cream and good chocolate syrup here, otherwise there's no
point in making this! You can omit the liqueur, if you wish.
Some people don't wash raspberries before using them in something
like this, but I prefer to do so. I discard any that are soft
or moldy, then wash the berries very quickly in cold water and
drain them well on paper towels. While using chocolate ice cream
is certainly a possibility, I feel it overwhelms the other
flavors.
Yield:
1 sundae
Sundae:
- Good-quality
chocolate syrup (about 2 Tbsp., though I don't bother to
measure it)
- 1 large
scoop good-quality chocolate chip OR vanilla fudge ice cream,
slightly softened
- About
2 tsp. black raspberry liqueur (optional)
- Fresh
raspberries
- Lightly
sweetened whipped cream
Optional
Garnish:
Place
a small pool of chocolate syrup into the bottom of a 7-ounce
wineglass. Place the scoop of ice cream on top of the syrup,
then drizzle the optional liqueur over the ice cream. Top with
as many fresh raspberries as you can reasonably fit into the
wineglass, then finish the sundae with a pouf or rosette of
lightly sweetened whipped cream. If desired, garnish with chocolate
sprinkles. Serve immediately!
