Revamped British classic sundae with cherries, jelly, meringue, whipped cream, and white chocolate fudge.
Ingredients:
  • 670g jar pitted morello cherries, drained, liquid reserved
  • 85g pkt port wine-flavoured jelly crystals
  • 250ml (1 cup) boiling water
  • 12 mini meringue kisses
  • Malted milk powder, to dust
  • 300g fresh cherries, pitted
  • 12 scoops vanilla ice-cream
  • 500ml (2 cups) thickened cream, whipped
  • 65g (1/2 cup) slivered almonds, toasted
  • 6 maraschino cherries
  • 100g white chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) thickened cream
  • 27.80 gm glucose syrup
  • 1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped, pod discarded
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the reserved morello cherry liquid and sugar. Stir frequently and cook for 10-15 minutes until the liquid thickens into a syrup and reduces to about 250ml (1 cup). Allow it to cool slightly before using.
  • For the white chocolate fudge sauce, combine all ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals on High until smooth, stirring between each interval. Let it cool before using.
  • First, combine the jelly crystals with boiling water in a heatproof bowl. Transfer the mixture into a 12 x 17cm heatproof glass or plastic dish, then refrigerate for 3 hours until set. Finally, slice the set jelly into 2cm pieces before serving.
  • Arrange the meringues on a plate and sprinkle the tops with malted milk powder.
  • Add a whole fresh cherry in the bottom of each of the six 375ml (11 ⁄2 cups) tall sundae glasses. Then, halve the rest of the fresh cherries.
  • Divide the fudge sauce evenly among glasses. Place a scoop of ice cream in each glass, then distribute the halved fresh cherries among the glasses. Add another scoop of ice cream on top. Finish by topping with morello cherries and jelly cubes, and drizzle 1 tablespoon of morello cherry syrup over each glass.
  • Put the whipped cream into a piping bag with a 1.5cm star nozzle and pipe on top. Drizzle with the rest of the morello cherry syrup. Finish each glass with dusted meringues, almonds, and a maraschino cherry. Serve with a long-handled soda spoon.
