Raspberry Sundaes Recipes

Steps:

• Place sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over high heat; stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, and allow syrup to cool completely. Place raspberries and syrup in the jar of a blender; puree until smooth. Pour through a fine sieve or colander into a bowl; discard solids. Serve (or store in an airtight container, refrigerated, up to 5 days).

Steps:

• Heat the fudge sauce in small pot. Add in raspberries and mash the berries into sauce. Turn off heat.
• Place a slice of cake or a brownie on each dessert plate. Top with 1 scoop each of chocolate ice cream and raspberry sorbet, top with a river of raspberry hot fudge and a swirl of whipped cream. Garnish with shaved chocolate, shaved with a vegetable peeler.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9 1/2 by 3 3/8-inch Bundt pan. Cream 2 sticks of the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and lemon extracts and mix well. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking soda. Add 1/3 of dry mixture to creamed mixture and beat on low until mixed. Mix in half of the sour cream. Alternate between the flour mixture and sour cream. Pour cake mixture into the Bundt pan. Bake 1 1/2 hours or until a cake tester inserted in cake comes about with a few crumbs clinging. Cool 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan and cool completely on wire rack.
• Preheat grill. Melt remaining butter and slice cake. Using a pastry brush, coat both sides of cake with butter. Grill on both sides until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from grill. Cool slightly. Cut slices into bite-size pieces. To create sundaes, fill a bowl with ice cream, add pound cake and sprinkle on toppings. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and garnish with Raspberry Topping.
• Combine all ingredients in pot and let simmer until thickened.

Steps:

• Pass the raspberries through a food mill fitted with a fine disk, or puree the raspberries in a food processor and press through a sieve to remove the seeds.
• Heat the sugar and the water to gether until the sugar is dissolved.
• Stir it into the raspberry puree and add the lemon juice and the kirsch or framboise, if desired.
• Taste and if necessary adjust with additional sugar, lemon juice or kirsch or framboise.

Steps:

• Stir raspberries with their juices and sugar in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Mix in Grand Marnier and Cognac; remove from heat.
• Scoop ice cream into stemmed glasses. Spoon sauce over. Garnish with whipped cream and serve with cookies.

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in a small pan over medium-low heat. Cook until berries release juice but stay whole, about 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

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.
