Answer 2

I assume you mean frozen shortcrust pastry, and I assume you mean like a Swiss roll. If you use sour cherries they would be tart. You could add Kirsch, and some sugar, and maybe a bit of lemon juice. The problem you may encounter is that the crust will puff a bit during baking, so you will probably need to put some baking beans on top of it to prevent it from rising, and it will be quite difficult to roll it up without it breaking, so maybe you should only partially bake it so that you can roll it up with the ice cream. Good luck though

Answer 3

Smirnoff makes a vanilla vodka as well as blueberry, green apple, watermelon, and citrus. I think the vanilla would serve your purpose. Just mix 3 cups of the berries with 3 teaspoons vanialla vodka, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Also, have you considered serving a mild dessert cheese on the side? Good luck and have fun.

Answer 4

try orange juice -- orange juice goes well with chocolate
