Print Recipe

A quick and easy boozy cherry jubilee dessert featuring fresh Bing cherries flambéed in brandy, served warm over creamy vanilla bean ice cream. Perfect for any occasion and a crowd-pleaser with a rich, caramelized sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fresh Bing cherries, pitted
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brandy (or dark rum as substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 4 scoops vanilla bean ice cream

Instructions

  1. Pit the Bing cherries and rinse gently under cold water. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a medium sauté pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
  3. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar to the melted butter and stir continuously until it dissolves and starts bubbling, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the pitted cherries to the pan and stir to coat with the buttery sugar mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cherries soften and release juice.
  5. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Pour over the cherries and stir gently.
  6. Carefully pour 1/4 cup brandy over the cherries. Ignite the brandy to flambé, standing back and keeping a lid nearby to smother flames if needed. Let flames subside naturally, about 30 seconds.
  7. Reduce heat to low and simmer cherries for another 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.
  8. Serve immediately by scooping 4 generous portions of vanilla bean ice cream into dessert bowls and spooning the warm boozy Bing cherry jubilee over the top.

Notes

If you prefer not to flambé, simmer the brandy with cherries to cook off alcohol. Use fresh Bing cherries for best texture and flavor. Add extra sugar if cherries are not sweet enough. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm cherries and cold ice cream. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
