Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream Sundaes
This adult take on a classic dessert layers boozy, soaked cherries with sweet cherry-vanilla ice cream. The fruit rests in liqueur overnight to absorb the alcohol, creating a sharp bite that balances the rich, creamy base. It makes an excellent finish for a summer dinner party or a relaxed weekend treat. Serve these cold, bright treats in small glasses to show off the colorful layers.
Ingredients
- ½ cup maraschino cherries with stems
- ¼ cup Southern Comfort
- 2 cups cherry-vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- 1Mix the cherries and Southern Comfort in an airtight container and freeze for eight hours. Drain the liquid and pat the fruit dry. Keep four whole cherries for the garnish, then remove the stems from the rest and chop them coarsely.
- 2Divide the chopped cherries and cherry-vanilla ice cream evenly among four small glasses, building alternating layers.
