The Cowboy Sundae Recipes

STRAWBERRY CRISP SUNDAE

Steps:

• Oatmeal Ice Cream:
• Combine milk, cream, cinnamon sticks, liquid glucose, and 1/2 the amount of sugar into a pot and bring up to a simmer.
• Stir in the steel cut oats, quick oats and the butter; continue stirring on a low heat for 5 minutes or until it begins to thicken.
• Combine your yolks and the remaining sugar in a bowl and whisk until well combined. Temper the egg mixture into the hot liquid let the ice cream base cook until it coats the back of the spoon.
• Quickly strain through a chinois so that the oatmeal does not solidify. Put into a water bath to chill.
• When the base is cold pour into the ice cream machine and spin.
• Roasted Strawberries:
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Clean and cut the strawberries depending on the size of them in quarters or halves, as long as they are all the same size in the end.
• Sprinkle 1/4 cup of sugar over the cut strawberries and a pinch or salt.
• Rub a sheet pan or cookie sheet, with butter until nicely covered. Place the buttered sheet pan in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes so it gets very hot. Carefully pull the sheet pan out of the oven and pour the strawberries on the hot sheet pan (be careful of the splatter). Place the sheet pan with the strawberries back in the oven for 3 minutes. After the 3 minutes pull out of the oven let cool slightly and enjoy.
• Oatmeal Streusel:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut your cold butter into small dice and set aside in the refrigerator.
• Combine all the ingredients, oats, sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon. Put the dry ingredients in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on a medium-slow speed. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly dispersed. Add the cold butter and drop the diced butter into the mixer only a few cubes at a time. While the machine is running do not walk away from it, you do not want the mixture to over mix. You will know that the streusel is done when it has just come together and the color will change from pale light brown to medium tan.
• Grease a 1/2 sheet pan or cookie sheet with cooking spray then a piece of parchment paper.
• Sprinkle the streusel onto the cookie sheet.
• Bake for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the how crunchy or chewy you like it to be.
• Assembly:
• In a sundae glass of your choice first layer the bottom with roasted strawberries, then oatmeal streusel then a scoop of the oatmeal ice cream. Repeat layers and garnish with a cinnamon stick and fresh strawberries.

ORANGE CREAM POP SUNDAE

Steps:

• Divide the ice cream among 4 bowls. Top the ice cream with the Orange Magic Chocolate Sauce; wait 30 seconds for the sauce to harden. Garnish each dish with 3 Chocolate-Dipped Clementine Segments and a sprig of mint.
• Set up a double boiler by placing a small bowl over a small pot with a little bit of water, making sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl. Heat the pot over low heat and bring the water to a very light simmer.
• Combine the coconut oil, corn syrup, zest and food coloring in the bowl. Warm over low heat until the oil is melted. Allow the zest to steep in the oil for a few minutes. Turn off the heat, add the chocolate and let sit until the chocolate begins to melt. Whisk until well combined and smooth. Pour the sauce over your favorite ice cream and it will harden within 15 to 30 seconds.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Set up a double boiler by placing a small bowl over a small pot with a little bit of water, making sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl. Heat the pot over low heat and bring the water to a very light simmer.
• Put the chopped chocolate in the bowl and heat, stirring occasionally, until melted. Remove from the heat.
• Carefully dip half of a clementine segment into the melted chocolate, letting the excess chocolate drip off. Place on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle lightly with the sea salt. Repeat with remaining clementine segments. Let set about 30 minutes.

BANANAS FOSTER BANANA BREAD SUNDAE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan with butter and line the bottom and 2 sides with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and eggs. Stir in the mashed bananas, oil, cinnamon and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture a third at a time and mix until just combined. Fold in the sliced bananas.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a skewer inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (some moist crumbs should stick to it), about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, combine the butter, brown sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and stir in the rum.
• While the bread is cooling, poke it all over with a skewer. Brush with half of the rum sauce and allow it to sit and soak through. Remove the banana bread from the loaf pan once cool, slice and serve with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of the remaining rum sauce.
