Sundae Date Boats Recipes

Steps:

• Cut into and all around the pit of each avocado, down to the pits. Twist the avocados and separate them. Whack the corner of your knife into each pit and remove it. Using a large spoon, scoop out each avocado half and arrange them on a plate. Dress the avocados with lemon juice, a few drops of hot sauce and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Combine the tomatoes and scallions and season with salt. Fill the avocados with plum tomatoes and serve.

Steps:

• Add 2 large scoops ice cream to a dessert boat. Remove the lid from the dessert topping jar and heat in microwave for 20 to 30 seconds. Pour warm sauce over ice cream. Top each scoop of ice cream with a big swirl of whipped cream and a cherry. Add 2 spoons and a special someone and this dessert makes a sweet end (or beginning) to a great date night, at home!

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat the butter. Add the sugar and ginger. Stir together until the sugar dissolves. Continue to stir until the sugar starts turning light brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the pineapple chunks, toss to coat, and saute for 2 to 3 minutes to warm the pineapple through.
• Scoop ice cream into each of 4 ice cream dishes.
• Remove the pan from the heat, and add the rum. Using a kitchen torch or igniter, flame the rum, tossing pineapple quickly to extinguish the flames.
• Pour the pineapple flambe over the ice cream, garnish with a maraschino cherry and a ginger cookie.
