Time 5h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 36

1 quart vanilla ice cream (recommended: Wayne Harley Brachman's Vanilla Ice Cream)
1 vanilla bean
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup lightly packed light brown sugar, divided
7 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons water
1 1/4 cups light corn syrup
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped and reserved
4 large egg whites
Pinch salt
Pinch cream of tartar
Seeds from 1 vanilla bean, above
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter
1/2 vanilla bean, split
2 to 4 tablespoons good quality Scotch (depending on your taste)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup heavy cream, heated
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces best quality bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Lightly toasted macadamia nuts
Spanish peanuts
Cherry Compote, recipe follows
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups cherries, pitted
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons Kirsch

Steps:

  • For the ice cream:
  • Split the vanilla bean lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds. Put the seeds, pod halves, milk cream and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Bring just to the simmering point over low heat.
  • In the meantime, combine the remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, egg yolks and vanilla extract in a large bowl and whisk until just blended. While gently whisking the yolks, drizzle the hot cream mixture into them so that they are gradually warmed up. Return everything to the saucepan and cook while stirring with a wooden spoon. Make sure that you are constantly scraping the spoon across the bottom of the pan so the custard does not scorch. The custard is done when it has thickened slightly and can evenly coat the back of the spoon. Do not let it come to a boil. Strain the custard through a fine sieve. Press our all the liquid in the vanilla beans and nestle the container holding the custard into a large bowl of ice. Let cool, stirring occasionally.
  • Transfer the custard to an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Put the finished ice cream in a storage container and freeze until firm.
  • For the fluff:
  • In a small saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, bring the water, corn syrup, 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla bean to 246 degrees F. In the meantime, in a completely clean, dry mixing bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites, salt and cream of tartar until creamy and foamy, about 2 minutes. Still whisking, sprinkle in the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and continue to whisk until the whites hold very soft peaks, about 2 minutes. While mixing on slow speed, carefully drizzle in the hot syrup. Turn the mixer to high and whisk until thick, fluffy and just warm, about 7 minutes. Turn the mixer to low and whisk in the vanilla seeds.
  • For the Butterscotch Sauce:
  • Bring sugar, butter and vanilla bean to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat, whisking until combined. Remove pan from the heat. Add the Scotch, return the pan to the heat and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and whisk in the salt and warm cream until smooth.
  • For the Homemade Fudge Sauce:
  • Bring cream, corn syrup, sugar, cocoa, salt, and half of chocolate to a boil in a 1 to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until chocolate is melted. Reduce heat and cook at a low boil, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Add butter, vanilla, and remaining chocolate and stir until smooth. Serve warm.
  • For assembly:
  • Put a couple of scoops of ice cream into each of 4 sundae dishes. Top with fluff and sauces. Garnish with nuts and cherry compote.
  • In a saucepan combine sugar, cherries, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to s a simmer and cook until cherries start to breakdown, about 6 minutes. Remove the cherries with a slotted spoon; reserve. Simmer the cooking liquid until reduced and syrupy. Remove from the heat, add the Kirsch and ignite with a long kitchen match until flames subside. Return the cherries to the pan and heat briefly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Vanilla bean
2 cups sugar
Wedge of lime
1 1/2 ounces orange liqueur (recommended: Cointreau)
1/2 ounce almond liqueur (recommended: Amaretto)
1 ounce coffee liqueur
1 ounce cognac
1 1/2 cups coffee
Whipped cream
Chocolate shavings

Steps:

  • A few days before you make the coffee, split the vanilla bean in half the long way, and place it with the sugar in a closed container. To make the coffee, warm 2 brandy snifters. Take the wedge of lime and run it around the edge of the glass to wet the rim. Dip it in the vanilla sugar. Pour the orange liqueur into the glasses and, one at a time, light it on fire and tilt the glass to caramelize the vanilla sugared rim. Douse the flame with a little coffee. In a copper saucepan place the almond liqueur, cognac and coffee liqueur and warm them. Divide them between the 2 snifters then top them off with more coffee. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings and a straw.

BUTTERSCOTCH BIRD NESTS

Part candy, part cookie, these candy nests are easy to make and the crunchy, salty pretzels are delicious with the sweet butterscotch coating. Kids can help by breaking the pretzels, scooping the nests and arranging the eggs in them.

Time 30m

Yield about 30 nests

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup blanched almond slivers
10 ounces vanilla "make your own" almond bark
1 cup butterscotch chips
2 cups pretzel sticks, broken in half
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut chips (often found in the health food aisle)
1 cup candy-coated mini chocolate eggs (about 50)

Steps:

  • Heat a large, dry saute pan over medium heat. Add the almond slivers and toast, shaking the pan every minute, until they are fragrant and begin to darken in areas, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Melt the almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl according to package instructions. Stir in the butterscotch chips. Microwave another 30 seconds, and then stir until smooth.
  • Stir in the almonds, pretzels and coconut, coating evenly. Drop the mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, onto the prepared baking sheets. Nestle in 1 or 2 of the mini eggs. If the mixture starts to cool and become too firm to work with, microwave for 30 seconds and stir gently. Let the nests cool at room temperature until solid.

MISO BUTTERSCOTCH SUNDAE



Miso Butterscotch Sundae image

If you're a lover of salty caramel, let me introduce you to your newest sweet fix: miso butterscotch. It's salty-sweet and easier to make than caramel. I love it with ice cream, but it's just as good with crepes or served fondue-style with fresh pineapple chunks, strawberries, and pieces of pound cake for dipping.

Categories     dessert

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons miso paste
1/4 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup heavy (whipping) cream
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pint vanilla ice cream
Chopped smoked almonds or salted, roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • For the miso butterscotch: Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sugar and stir until combined. Stir in the miso, then add the heavy cream and vanilla and stir until the butterscotch is bubbling and thick. Turn off the heat.
  • For the sweetened whipped cream: Place the cream in a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add the sugar and vanilla extract and whip on medium-high speed (or by hand or with a hand mixer) until you have medium-stiff peaks (about 2 minutes using a stand mixer or 2 to 3 minutes with a hand mixer). Serve immediately.
  • To serve, place some ice cream in each bowl. Drizzle with the butterscotch, add a dollop of whipped cream, sprinkle with smoked almonds, and serve immediately.
