Cookies For Santa Sundae Recipes

THE COWBOY SUNDAE

Steps:

• For the pulled pork: Mix salt, sugar, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, fennel seed, and chipotle in a bowl. Generously coat pork shoulder in the rub. Using applewood or hickory wood, maintain a temperature of 210 degrees F in your smoker. Add a water pan and arrange the pork directly on the grill and smoke, spritzing every hour, until pork reaches an internal temperature of 200 degrees F on a probe thermometer, roughly 12 hours. Carefully remove pork from smoker. Wearing barbecue gloves, pull the shoulder apart while the pork is still hot.
• For the fries: Prepare a seasoning salt by combining sea salt, rosemary and fennel seed. Cut potatoes with a wall-mounted fry cutter equipped with a 1/2 inch cutting screen. Deep fry in oil heated to 350 degrees F for 90 seconds. Cool to room temperature. Fry again at 350 degrees F for an additional 2 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add approximately 1 teaspoon of the seasoning salt.
• For the slaw: Mix green and purple cabbage together. Add cilantro. Mix mayo, tarragon vinegar, soy sauce and garlic in a bowl. Combine the cabbage mixture with the dressing and mix thoroughly.
• To assemble, place 1 pound of freshly fried and seasoned fries on a plate. Top with 1/2 pound of pulled pork. Place 1 cup of slaw on top of the pork. Drizzle the slaw with barbecue sauce and serve.

MERRY BERRY SUNDAE

Steps:

• Place the strawberry, huckleberry and dark cherry ice cream in a serving dish. Put the marshmallow cream in a piping bag (or spoon it straight from the jar) and top the ice cream with a mound of it. Decorate with the mixed berries and Candied Cranberries.
• Press the gingerbread people into the ice cream and marshmallow cream, then drizzle over the Green Ganache and Red Ganache. Finish decorating the sundae with the mint sprigs and a cherry on top.
• Place a sheet of parchment paper on a sheet pan.
• Pour 3/4 cup water and 3/4 cup of the sugar into a saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer on low heat for 3 minutes. Stir to ensure the sugar has dissolved into the water and the result is a syrup consistency.
• Add the cranberries to the pan and stir so they are covered in the syrup. Remove the pan from the heat and stir for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, remove the cranberries from the pan and add them to the prepared sheet pan. Allow the cranberries to cool and dry, about 1 hour.
• Pour the remaining sugar into a bowl. Add the cranberries and toss until they are thoroughly coated in the sugar. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
• Add the candy melting wafers to a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream in a pan until hot but not boiling. Pour over the candy wafers and let sit for 1 minute, then stir until completely melted.
