Chocolate And Vanilla Sundaes Recipes

CHOCOLATE SUNDAE

Steps:

• Make the chocolate fudge sauce first, then you can assemble your sundaes

CLASSIC HOT FUDGE SUNDAE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream, sugar, corn syrup or honey, cocoa, and salt to a simmer, whisking until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the chocolate and let cook until the chocolate melts. Stir in butter and vanilla or liquor. Let cool slightly. Contrary to its name, hot fudge is best served warm, not piping hot.
• For assembly, make the whipped cream. Using a whisk or an electric mixer, beat the cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
• Pour a little fudge sauce into the bottoms of sundae dishes or bowls. Top with ice cream, then more hot fudge, then nuts if using. Cover all with whipped cream and a cherry if you like. Serve.

HOT FUDGE AND SALTED CHOCOLATE BITS SUNDAE

Steps:

• To make the bits: Line a pie plate with plastic wrap. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or on low power in a microwave. Add the salt, stir to blend and then, using a spatula, spread the chocolate on the plastic, making a layer that's 1/8-inch thick (shape doesn't matter). Press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface and freeze for at least 45 minutes. When you're ready to make the sundaes, chop the chocolate into bite-size bits.
• To make the sauce: Put the chocolate, cream, corn syrup and sugar in a medium pan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the chocolate melts and comes to a light simmer, about 5 minutes. Still stirring, let it burble for a minute or two, then scrape it into a heatproof container. Use immediately, or cover and refrigerate until needed.
• To make the sundaes: If necessary, warm the fudge sauce in a double boiler, or microwave on low. For each sundae, sprinkle some salted chocolate bits and almonds in the bottom of a bowl, snifter or sundae glass. Top with a scoop or two of coffee ice cream, some hot fudge sauce, almonds and bits. Finish with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream, fudge sauce, whipped cream, almonds and chocolate bits. Serve immediately with a long spoon.

MEXICAN CHOCOLATE SUNDAE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt and set aside. In another bowl, add the buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla and eggs. Mix with a fork and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add the cocoa and whisk to combine. Pour the boiling water into the melted butter mixture in the pan. Allow to bubble for a moment, then turn off the heat. Pour the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture. Stir together for a moment to cool the chocolate, then pour in the egg mixture. Stir together until smooth.
• Pour the batter into 4 ovensafe 6-inch skillets (unbuttered) and bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
• Drizzle the cakes with Cinnamon Hot Fudge Sauce and top with scoops of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream and a cherry.
• Add the sugar, cream, cocoa, butter and cinnamon to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the butter melts, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a mason jar and store in the fridge. (The sauce will harden as it cools, so reheat in a pan over medium heat when ready to use.)

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE SUNDAE

Steps:

• Put all the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and peanut butter into a saucepan and put it on the heat to melt, stirring occasionally. In about 2 minutes you should have your sauce ready. When everything has melted add 3 to 4 tablespoons of boiling water to thin the sauce.
• Get out 4 sundae glasses and put a scoop of toffee or caramel ice cream in each, followed by 1 of the chocolate and then another of vanilla.
• Pour over some chocolate peanut butter fudge sauce and sprinkle with salted peanuts.
• Stick a chocolate cigar cookie in each sundae glass, hand them round and wait for people to weep with gratitude.

ALL-AMERICAN BANANA SPLIT

Steps:

• Place banana in a dessert dish; place scoops of ice cream between banana. Top with remaining ingredients. Serve immediately.

NUTTY CARAMEL & CHOC SUNDAES

Steps:

• Put the chocolate and 100ml milk in a small pan, and put the caramel, peanut butter and 100ml milk in another pan. Gently melt both, stirring until saucy. Set aside to cool.
• Give the sauces a good stir to loosen, then layer the 2 sauces, biscuit bits, peanuts and ice cream in 6 sundae glasses or bowls, and eat straight away.

CHOCOLATE-WARM VANILLA PUDDING SUNDAE

Steps:

• Combine pudding mix, water and sugar in medium saucepan.
• Bring to full rolling boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Add butter; stir until butter is melted and mixture is well blended.
• Scoop ice cream into 12 serving bowls; top each with 2 Tbsp. pudding mixture. Sprinkle with morsels.
