Fourth of July Ice Cream Tower
Keys:
Yield: 1 cup
Ingredients:
7 cup fresh or frozen red raspberries (thaw frozen
berries)
5 cup fresh or frozen marionberries or any other
blackberries (thaw frozen berries)
2 gal vanilla ice cream, softened
Red food coloring (optional)
1/2 cup heavy cream
Method:
Purchased angel-food cake (any shape, standard size)
Marionberries, red raspberries and red currants for garnish (other
blackberries may always be substituted for marionberries)
To make red-raspberry ice cream: Puree red raspberries in a food
processor, and strain through a fine sieve or grind berries in a food
mill to make puree.
Reserve 1 cup puree and put in squirt bottle. Mix remaining puree with
softened ice cream in a food processor.
Optional: Use a few drops of red food coloring when mixing to increase
the coloration of the ice cream.
Pour ice cream-puree mix in a jellyroll-type pan (disposable aluminum
baking sheets work well) as deep as the cookie cutter.
Freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
To make marionberry ice cream: Proceed as in above recipe substituting 5
cups of marionberries, fresh or frozen. It is not necessary to reserve
any of this puree, and food coloring will not be needed.
Cutting star shapes: Cover 2 cookie sheets with wax paper; wrap ends
underneath. Precool in freezer for 20 to 30 minutes. Place star-shaped
cookie cutters in warm water. Remove ice cream-filled jellyroll pans
from freezer one at a time, only as using.
Remove cutter from warm water, shake off excess water, and working
quickly depress cutter into ice cream, carefully sliding up to unmold.
Use spatula to place ice-cream cutouts on pre-chilled cookie sheets,
cover with a sheet of wax paper and return to freezer for 20 minutes or
up to 24 hours. Repeat, to cut out all star shapes.
When ready to serve: Slice angel-food cake in slices as deep as the
cookie cutter you are using. Cut star shapes out of angel-food cake.
Spoon a pool of heavy cream on each serving plate. Using red-raspberry
puree in squirt bottle, draw wavy red lines across plate, and through
cream.
Take ice-cream stars from freezer and stack one marionberry star, one
angel-food cake star and one red-raspberry star on prepared plate, being
careful not to disturb red lines.
Garnish with berries and currants. Serve immediately.
