SOFT SERVE

Method

SOFT SERVE

  1. 1

    Combine and simmer

    In a medium saucepan, combine cherries, granulated sugar, 0.25 cup water, and lemon juice. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the cherries soften and release juices, about 6–8 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare cornstarch slurry

    In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until completely smooth.

  3. 3

    Thicken the cherry mix

    Pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering cherry mixture. Stir constantly and cook for 1–2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to a glossy, nappe-like consistency.

  4. 4

    Finish flavors

    Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract and salt. Allow the sauce to cool slightly.

  5. 5

    Chill

    Transfer to a clean jar or container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors and thicken further.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Drizzle the cherry dip over vanilla soft serve or serve as a dip for fruits and cookies. Re-warm slightly if you prefer a smoother drizzle.
