Method

POSTRE / DESSERT

1

Prepare the cherries

Rinse the cherries, pit them if needed, and pat dry.

2

Start the sauce

In a heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and lemon juice; stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes glossy.

3

Cook the cherries

Add the cherries to the skillet. Cook 4–6 minutes, stirring gently, until they release juice and become plump.

4

Flavor the glaze

Stir in vanilla extract and continue cooking until the sauce thickens slightly and the cherries glisten.

5

Flambé

Remove from heat if needed, pour Kirsch over the cherries, and carefully ignite with a long kitchen lighter to flambé. Let flames subside; keep a lid nearby to smother if necessary.

6

Plate and serve

Spoon the warm cherry flambé into individual bowls and top each with 1 scoop (or desired amount) of vanilla ice cream. Serve immediately.
