Homemade Cherries Jubilee—An Ice Cream Connoisseur's Dream Dish

by Charles Pieter

Cherries jubilee is a classic dessert dish that consists of vanilla ice cream that is topped with a liqueur sauce. The lemon juice or granulated sugar that is added to this dish will heighten the sour and sweet hints that this tasty concoction is often noted for.

A Decadent Dessert

Pitted cherries that have been recently picked from the vine or that have been flash-frozen can be used to create a cherries jubilee dessert. Either vanilla ice cream or vanilla bean ice cream can be used as the main component of this dish. Vanilla ice cream is made with a vanilla extract flavoring agent. A retail supplier may feature vanilla products that are rich, creamy, and white in color.

A vanilla bean ice cream product utilizes the vanilla bean that comes from a vanilla orchid plant. The small granules that are within the bean pod are what give this type of ice cream its color and texture. A retailer may feature vanilla bean ice cream that contains small black bean flecks scattered throughout it. A cherry sauce that is prepared with a liqueur product and some additional flavoring ingredients should be poured on the vanilla ice cream that is being used as the base of this dessert.

Quality Ingredients

Cherries jubilee is the type of dessert that may be served at the end of a sumptuous dinner party. This type of dessert is indulgent and colorful. A retail ice cream supplier may feature gourmet ice cream products that will elevate the taste and texture of a cherries jubilee dessert. First, shop around for some quality ingredients that will offset the heightened quality of the dinner components that you will be serving before the last course is going to be served.

Bing cherries work well for this dessert. They are plump and juicy. Next, shop for some ice cream products. A food supplier will list the ingredients for both the gourmet and non-gourmet products that they sell. If you will be serving this dessert to a lot of guests, buy ice cream from a supplier that sells large plastic tubs of ice cream.

Use an alcoholic or nonalcoholic liqueur to create a flavorful cherry sauce for the dessert. The liqueur and cherries should be heated up in a pan.

A little bit of lemon juice or granulated sugar can be mixed in with the cherry sauce that you will be pouring over the scoops of vanilla ice cream.
