Best Chocolate Cherry Ice Cream Float Recipes

CHOCO CHERRY-STOUT ICE CREAM FLOAT

Steps:

• Swirl the chocolate syrup around in a glass all fancy-like. Place the ice cream on the bottom and pour the cold stout slowly into the glass. Top with whipped cream, crushed chocolate candies and Jacked Cherries if using. Serve with a straw, a long spoon and a shot of whisky, if desired.
• Bring the whisky and sugar to a gentle simmer in a small saucepan and simmer until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture over the cherries in a mason jar and let it sit in the fridge overnight.

CHERRY-CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Put the cherries, 2 tablespoons sugar and the rum in a medium saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until syrupy, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool, then refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, heat the milk and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking to dissolve the sugar. Whisk the egg yolks in a small bowl. Gradually whisk about 1/2 cup of the warm milk mixture into the eggs, then whisk the egg mixture into the saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture coats a spoon and registers 168 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat; add the semisweet and unsweetened chocolate and the butter and set aside until the chocolate melts, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the chocolate mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Pour into a large bowl and stir in the heavy cream and vanilla. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Churn the chilled chocolate mixture in an ice cream maker. Strain the cherry mixture, reserving the syrup. When the ice cream is very thick, add the cherries and continue churning until incorporated. Transfer to a freezer-safe container. Drizzle in the reserved cherry syrup and swirl with a spoon. Cover and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.

CHOCOLATE COBBLER WITH CHERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pour the melted butter into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, milk, vanilla and 1 1/2 cups of the sugar. Mix well and pour over the melted butter.
• In another bowl, mix together the cocoa powder and remaining 1 cup sugar. Sift over the baking dish with the melted butter and flour mixture. Pour 3/4 to 1 cup of hot, hot water over top. Bake until firm on top but still gooey and chocolatey on the inside, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Serve warm with cherry ice cream.
