  • 1 ounce Southern Comfort

Instructions

How to Create the Presentation for the Dessert

  1. Place the cream sauce on a plate and smooth to cover. Make a circle, starting from the center of the plate until you reach the outer edge. Strike with a wooden pick to make the quot;web" pattern. Cut a three-inch circle of cake and place it in the middle of the plate. Place an oatmeal crisp on top of the cake. Place a scoop of rum raisin ice cream on top of the crisp. Place another crisp on top of the ice cream. Put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the second crisp. On the back side of the dessert, build whip cream from bottom of the plate to the top, stopping at the vanilla ice cream. Garnish the top of the dessert with chocolate sauce. Place the blueberries you kept for garnish around the plate and serve.

Blueberry Chocolate Cake

  1. Make cake per directions on box, but fold 3/4 cup of blueberries into the cake batter before you pour it into the baking pan.

Oatmeal Crisps

  1. Mix all ingredients well. Place 1 ounce portions seven inches apart. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes until caramelized. Allow to cool. Use crisps according to the directions for the presentation, above.

Cream Sauce

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk sugar and Southern Comfort together well. Whip with a hand mixer turned on high as you slowly pour cream. Beat until soft peaks form. Refrigerate until you are ready to use with the presentation, above, and serve.

Notes

* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe.
