Scoops of this homemade ice cream are spooned into a chilled rocks glass and then topped with all the classic sundae toppings. First there is a drizzle of hot fudge sauce, warmed with a bit of whiskey. Then there is a dollop or two of whiskey-infused whipped cream and a sprinkle of sliced almonds. Finally, no sundae is complete without a cherry on top! Here bourbon-infused cherries are threaded on a toothpick and placed on the rim of the glass just as you would a cocktail.
Ingredients:
Coffee Liqueur Ice Cream:
-
2 cups heavy cream
-
2 cups whole milk
-
3/4 cup granulated sugar
-
2 1/2 tablespoons espresso
-
6 large egg yolks
-
1/2 cup coffee liqueur
-
6 large egg yolks
Spiked Sundae Toppings:
-
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions:
# In a large saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, espresso powder and coffee liqueur.
# Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Remove from heat.
# In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg yolks.
# Slowly beat in 1 cup of the hot cream into the egg yolks.
# Gradually add the tempered egg mixture back into the pan of hot cream. Cook over medium-low heat while continuously stirring and until the mixture thickens (about 5 min).
# Cover the surface of the hot cream with plastic wrap to keep a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator overnight.
# Remove from the refrigerator and churn according to manufacturer’s directions.
# Place in a freezer safe container and freeze until firm enough to scoop and assemble the sundaes.
# When ready to assemble the sundaes, prepare the spiked toppings. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and whiskey until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate while preparing the other toppings.
# In a microwave safe bowl, combine the hot fudge sauce with the whiskey. Warm for 20 seconds until it is a drizzling consistency.
# Scoop the ice cream into a rocks glass.
# Top with spiked hot fudge.
# Add a dollop of the spiked whipped cream.
# Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
# Thread two of the bourbon soaked cocktail cherries on a toothpick and use to garnish the rocks glass.
