Vanilla Ice Cream With Hot Fudge Sauce And Raspberries Recipes

Steps:

• Bring cream and butter to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add sugars and corn syrup, and heat, stirring, until sugars dissolve. Whisk in cocoa powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add chocolate, and stir until melted. Stir in vanilla. Use immediately, or keep warm in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Serve hot fudge over ice cream.

Steps:

• To make ice cream: Combine half-and-half and vanilla seeds (scraped from the vanilla beans) and pods in a saucepan over medium high heat cooking until milk scalds (10 minutes). Remove from heat and let stand for 15 minutes. Remove pods.
• Whisk yolks (or egg substitute) and sugar in a bowl.
• Reheat half-and-half.
• Whisk 2 cups of the half and half into egg/sugar mixture and return all to pan. Cook over medium-low heat until mixture thickens (3-5 minutes). DO NOT BOIL.
• Strain mixture into bowl. Cool one minute before stirring in raspberry juice.
• Cover and refrigerate ice cream until well chilled.
• Transfer to ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's directions.
• Freeze in freezer overnight.
• To make hot fudge sauce: Melt chocolates (semisweet and unsweetened) with preserves and coffee powder in top of double boiler over simmering water, stirring occasionally (5-10 minutes).
• Blend in 6 tablespoons cream and 1/4 cup raspberry juice and heat. (If necessary add more cream until desired consistency is reached. Sauce should be able to pour easily). Cool slightly before proceeding.
• Beat 1 cup cream with sugar and 1 tablespoon raspberry juice until soft peaks form.
• To serve: Spoon ice cream into individual glass bowls. Spoon sauce over. Top with raspberries, then whipped cream and sprinkle with almonds, if desired.

Steps:

• Stir sugar, half and half, chocolate, corn syrup, butter and salt in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves and chocolate melts. Increase heat to medium-low and cook until sauce is smooth and thick, stirring constantly, about 4 minutes. Remove sauce from heat. Stir in framboise. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm over low heat, stirring frequently, before serving.)
• For each serving, spoon 1 tablespoon sauce into sundae glass or wine goblet. Top with 2 scoops of ice cream. Spoon 3 tablespoons sauce over. Sprinkle raspberries over and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat 2 cups milk in a heavy saucepan over low heat until simmering, about 5 minutes.
• Beat remaining 1/2 cup milk and cornstarch together in a bowl using a whisk until dissolved; add sugar and egg yolks and beat until smooth. Slowly pour milk mixture into simmering milk while gently whisking the simmering milk; simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and stir vanilla extract into sauce.
• Pour the sauce through a wire mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any cornstarch lumps. Place a piece of plastic wrap on top of the sauce, ensuring the plastic wrap is touching the sauce to prevent a skin from forming; cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• Move sauce to refrigerator and chill completely cold, at least 30 minutes.
