Warm, boozy cherries over ice cream is a classic dessert, and it’s so easy to do. We like ours over chocolate ice cream (but when Bobby doesn’t quite have the energy to make this, you know he’s always got Cherry Garcia in the freezer).

Preparation
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of the reserved cherry juice, the sugar, and cornstarch until the sugar and cornstarch dissolve.
Step 2
Combine the remaining cherry juice and the cornstarch mixture in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cherries and kirsch and cook until the cherries are warmed through, about 2 minutes more.
Step 3
Place 2 scoops of ice cream in each serving dish. Divide the warm cherry topping among the dishes and serve.
