Yield Makes 4 dessert servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups cooked cranberry sauce (not jelly)
1/4 cup cream Sherry (sweet)
1/2 cup chilled heavy cream
1/2 cup melted but cool vanilla ice cream
1 1/2 cups cubed (1/2 inch) pound cake

Steps:

  • Stir together cranberry sauce and Sherry in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine heavy cream and ice cream in a bowl, then set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and beat with an electric mixer until stiff.
  • Divide half of cake cubes among 4 dessert glasses. Top each serving with a scant 1/4 cup cranberry mixture, then top each with 1/4 cup whipped-cream mixture. Repeat layering with remaining cake cubes, cranberry mixture, and whipped-cream mixture.
  • Chill, loosely covered with plastic wrap, at least 8 hours for flavors to develop.
