Roasted Plums with Ice Cream
Roasted Plums with Ice Cream is a simple dessert with a sly secret... roasting under ripe fruit brings out all of the lusciousness, and nobody'll be the wiser.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs plums, or other stone fruit, apricots work well
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp Bourbon
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 Tbsp vanilla bean paste, or the seeds of a vanilla bean
- 4 cups vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Set oven to 425°F.
- Halve and pit the plums. If the pits don't come out easily, use a small spoon to gouge them out. If the fruit is large, cut it into quarters. Toss with the sugar, bourbon, lemon juice, and vanilla and put it in a baking pan just large enough to allow them to form a single layer.
- Roast for about 20 minutes, tossing once or twice, until they become bubbly, soft, and juicy.
- Remove and let cool slightly before layering into small bowls or glasses with the ice cream.
