Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients 

Amaretto Ice Cream

  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 1 x 300ml can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 oz Amaretto liqueur, or extra ½ tsp almond extract
  • ½ tsp almond extract

Cherries Jubilee

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 600 g frozen dark pitted cherries, partially thawed
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • cup kirsch, or brandy
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 ½ tbsp water

Instructions 

Amaretto Ice Cream

  • In a mixer, beat the whipping cream with a whip attachment until it reaches soft peaks. Add the sweetened condensed milk and beat until stiff peaks. Add the amaretto and almond extract and mix just until combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. Freeze overnight until firm.

Cherries Jubilee

  • In a stainless skillet, melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the cherries and their juices along with the sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the cherries are softened.
  • To flambé the cherries, have a lighter or matches nearby. Pour the kirsch over the cherries and use a lighter to ignite the alcohol. Gently swirl the cherries in the pan and allow the flames to burn out on their own.
  • In a small cup combine the cornstarch and water. Add the cornstarch slurry to the cherries and cook until slightly thickened.
  • Scoop portions of the amaretto ice cream into serving bowls. Top with the warm cherries and serve immediately. Enjoy!
