You didn't think we would forget those of you with a sweet tooth to did you?
Dessert is rarely skipped in the Centner house, so of course every chapter of Eatertainment finishes a delicious confection!
Since the Winter Warm-Up is all about hearty and filling starters and mains, we kept dessert simple! French Vanilla Ice Cream with Homemade Dark Chocolate Sauce, aka 'Dame Blanche' 😋
This is one of the most universally loved winter desserts and is sure to be a hit regardless of how full your guests may be at this point. The name comes from an old French tale. The story goes that a ghost named Dame Blanche would block a bridge in Normandy and that only those who stopped to dance with her would be allowed to pass. Seb's mom used to tell him and his brother this story as they enjoyed their ice cream and chocolate sauce.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pints of French Vanilla ice cream
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cocoa powder
2 1/2 oz dark chocolate, finely chopped
How-To:
1. Place 1 1/4 cups of water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the corn syrup and cocoa powder and bring to a boil, whisking constantly.
2. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate until completely melted.
3. Allow the chocolate to cool to room temperature, for about 15 minutes, and serve over the vanilla ice cream.
Bonus: If you already have your copy of Eatertainment, we've also included a recipe for baked stone fruit that can be added to the dessert!
