Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Cherries
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the pitted and halved cherries. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
- 2
Caramelize the Cherries
Add the granulated sugar to the saucepan and stir gently until the sugar dissolves and begins to caramelize, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn.
- 3
Add Butter and Vanilla
Once the cherries are well coated and caramelized, add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract. Stir until the butter has melted and is well incorporated.
- 4
Flambé (Optional)
If using Grand Marnier or brandy, carefully add it to the pan and ignite with a long lighter to flambé. Allow the flames to subside as the alcohol burns off.
- 5
Serve
Scoop the vanilla bean ice cream into serving bowls and top generously with the caramelized cherries. Serve immediately.
