Best Chamomile Caramel Sundaes With Stone Fruits Recipes

SALTED CARAMEL SUNDAE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread the peanuts on a sheet pan and roast for 7 minutes, until they become fragrant. Pour into a medium bowl, add the popcorn, and set aside. Line the sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Place the sugar and 1/4 cup water in a medium (10-inch) saute pan and mix with a fork until all the sugar is moistened. Cook over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves--from this point on, don't stir the caramel, swirl the pan! (Don't worry if the mixture looks as though it's crystallizing.)
• Continue to cook for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes a clear golden brown, swirling the pan constantly at the end. (Be careful, the caramel is very hot!) Off the heat, quickly add the corn syrup and vanilla (it will bubble up!) and swirl the pan to combine. Working quickly (the caramel will continue to cook in the pan), add the popcorn and nut mixture plus the kosher salt and toss with two large spoons until the popcorn and nuts are completely coated.
• Pour the mixture plus any extra caramel in the pan onto the prepared sheet pan and spread the mixture out in one layer, pulling it apart with two forks. Sprinkle with the fleur de sel and set aside to cool. When it's completely cooled, carefully break into large clusters with your hands.
• To serve, pour puddles of Chocolate Sauce into shallow bowls. For each serving, place 3 small scoops of gelato on the chocolate sauce, sprinkle with some of the caramelized popcorn, and add a dollop of the Sweetened Whipped Cream in the middle. Serve immediately.
• Place the chocolate, cream, corn syrup, and coffee in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Be sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Serve warm.
• Pour the cream into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat on high speed until the cream forms soft peaks.

CHAMOMILE-CARAMEL SUNDAES WITH STONE FRUITS

Steps:

• Heat cream in a small pot over medium until just simmering. Remove from heat; add tea bags. Cover and let steep until fragrant, 20 minutes; remove and discard tea bags. Transfer chamomile cream to a medium bowl; let cool 15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days. Add sugar and whisk until stiff peaks form.
• Divide ice cream among 4 bowls. Drizzle with caramel sauce and top with fruits. Top with whipped chamomile cream, sprinkle with bee pollen and flowers, and serve.

HONEY-CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine honey, 2 tablespoons water, and sugar in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium, swirling until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil; cook until mixture is deep golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully whisk in cream, butter, salt, and vanilla (mixture will spatter); let cool completely. Sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 weeks; gently reheat before serving.
