Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 box (200g Frosty Whip Cream Powder, whipped according to package)
¾ cup cold water
1 250ml nestle all-purpose cream, chilled
¼ - ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
1 pack (200g chocolate graham or honey graham crackers)
2 tbsp. rum (for brushing (optional))
1 bottle maraschino cherry (drained (reserved 8-12 cherries for garnish & roughly chopped the remaining cherries))
1 bar milk chocolate Cadbury or any plain chocolate bars you have (shaved for toppings)
1½ tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)

Steps:

  • Prepare a 7×11 inches baking dish or any similar container and set aside. I love to use a 7×11 glass dish because it doesn't only give your dessert a presentable look, but it is also perfectly fit for a single pack of graham crackers.
  • Drain bottled cherries, set aside 8-12 whole cherries and roughly chopped the remaining cherries and set aside. Using a vegetable peeler, shave your chocolate bar thinly and set aside until needed.
  • You can use your favorite plain chocolate bar or any available you have at the moment, but I would like to recommend Cadbury dairy milk chocolate (220g) or Hershey's creamy milk chocolate.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine frosty whip cream powder and cold water, then whipped until light and double in size. Add in chilled all-purpose cream, condensed milk, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt and mix until well combine. At this point you can taste test your cream and adjust the sweetness according to your taste. Divide the whipped cream mixture into 3 parts, so you can have a 3-layer Black Forest Icebox Cake.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield about 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 13

Cooking spray
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup almond flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup cherry jam
3/4 cup dried cherries, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
1 1/2 ounces white chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides; coat with cooking spray. Whisk the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, almond flour and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low; beat in the flour mixture until combined.
  • Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish in a thin layer with damp hands. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake until the chocolate layer is set, 25 to 30 minutes; let cool completely in the pan.
  • Meanwhile, combine the jam, dried cherries, lemon juice, cornstarch, almond extract and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the dried cherries soften and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Spread over the chocolate layer and let cool completely.
  • Lift the bars out of the pan using the foil. Put the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth; drizzle on the bars. Let stand until the chocolate sets, then cut into squares.

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

175g butter , chopped
75g dark chocolate , chopped
300g self-raising flour

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe black cherries for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have time to make your own cherry sauce, you can use a good-quality store-bought cherry pie filling.
  • To make the chocolate ice cream, use a dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. This will give the ice cream a rich, chocolatey flavor.
  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the ice cream mixture in a covered container in the freezer, stirring it every hour or so until it is firm.
  • For a boozy version of the Black Forest Float, add a shot of kirsch or crème de cacao to the cherry sauce.

The Black Forest Float is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give the Black Forest Float a try!
