Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Chocolate ice cream
- 1 cup Canned cherries in syrup
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 cup Whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 ounces Dark chocolate bar
- 8 pieces Fresh cherries
Instructions
Start by making the cherry compote. Drain the canned cherries, reserving 1/4 cup of the syrup, and place them in a small saucepan.
Add the granulated sugar and reserved cherry syrup to the saucepan and heat over medium-low heat.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 teaspoons of water to create a slurry. Stir this into the cherry mixture.
Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
While the cherry compote cools, prepare the whipped cream. In a chilled bowl, combine the whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Beat the mixture with a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Shave the dark chocolate bar into fine curls using a vegetable peeler and set aside for topping.
To assemble the sundaes, scoop 1 cup of chocolate ice cream into each serving dish or glass.
Top the ice cream with a generous spoonful of the cooled cherry compote.
Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the cherry layer.
Sprinkle the chocolate shavings over the whipped cream, and garnish each sundae with a fresh cherry.
Serve immediately and enjoy your rich and indulgent Black Forest Sundaes!
