Ingredients

• 4 cups Chocolate ice cream
• 1 cup Canned cherries in syrup
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 cup Whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 ounces Dark chocolate bar
• 8 pieces Fresh cherries

Directions

Step 1

Start by making the cherry compote. Drain the canned cherries, reserving 1/4 cup of the syrup, and place them in a small saucepan.

Step 2

Add the granulated sugar and reserved cherry syrup to the saucepan and heat over medium-low heat.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 teaspoons of water to create a slurry. Stir this into the cherry mixture.

Step 4

Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 5

While the cherry compote cools, prepare the whipped cream. In a chilled bowl, combine the whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Beat the mixture with a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 7

Shave the dark chocolate bar into fine curls using a vegetable peeler and set aside for topping.

Step 8

To assemble the sundaes, scoop 1 cup of chocolate ice cream into each serving dish or glass.

Step 9

Top the ice cream with a generous spoonful of the cooled cherry compote.

Step 10

Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the cherry layer.

Step 11

Sprinkle the chocolate shavings over the whipped cream, and garnish each sundae with a fresh cherry.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your rich and indulgent Black Forest Sundaes!
