Vanilla Raspberry Sundaes With Spoon Shaped Cookies Recipes

VANILLA-RASPBERRY SUNDAES WITH SPOON-SHAPED COOKIES

Steps:

• Make the cookies: Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture, and mix until dough comes together. Shape dough into 2 disks, wrap each in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days).
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll out 1 disk of dough to just less than an inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Using a paring knife, cut out spoon shapes, each about 3 inches long. Get the spoon template here.
• Transfer to baking sheets. Chill in freezer for 15 minutes. Roll out scraps, and repeat once.
• Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, about 12 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Make the sundaes: In 8 small bowls, layer 1/4 cup ice cream, 1/2 cup sorbet, and another 1/4 cup ice cream. Garnish each sundae with blueberries, and serve with 2 or 3 cookie spoons.

VERY BERRY SUNDAE

Steps:

• Line two small baking pans with parchment paper. Using a miniature ice-cream scoop, place scoops of ice cream on prepared pan; transfer to freezer. Repeat process with sorbet. Let scoops freeze 30 minutes.
• Arrange scoops of ice cream and sorbet among four dishes; top with raspberry sauce, marshmallow sauce, and raspberries. Serve.

RASPBERRY SUNDAES WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE AND ROASTED ALMONDS

Let it come to a low simmer until small bubbles appear around the outside. Add sugar, honey and keep at a low simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter and salt. Chocolate sauce will smooth out at is cools to room temperature. Store in an airtight container.
• In a bowl, gently toss together the raspberries, sugar, elderflower liqueur, and lemon juice. Let stand in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) before serving.
