How To Make rum baba

  • Step 1
    This is such and easy elegant dessert.
  • Step 2
    Chill some lovely stemmed crystal pudding cups. I like to serve this elegantly it looks like one has worked your little fingers to the bone. :)
  • Step 3
    Take a slice of pound cake or shortbread thingys and place it in each chilled cups.
  • Step 4
    Scoop a lovely round large ball of Ice Cream into the each cup.
  • Step 5
    Pour a jigger of Rum over the ice cream of each.
  • Step 6
    Put a little Hot Fudge or Carmel sauce on top.
  • Step 7
    Add Whipped cream on top.
  • Step 8
    Add a cherry.
  • Step 9
    Optional add some chopped nuts..
  • Step 10
    Serve immediately.
  • Step 11
    Option...I have run out of Rum sometimes..I have used Courvoisier or Cognac. Or you could use any flavor of Schnapps, a sweeet wine, Lemocello or Annesette would be good too. I have used this recipe over left over Banana Bread, Chiffon Cakes, or just a box mix of different flavored cakes. Instead of buying the cake.
  • Step 12
    Another way I have done this is by using a Lemon Pound cake, a jigger of Lemoncello and Lemon Curd... And instead of using Ice Cream I have use Lemon Sorbet with left over Angel Food cake..and add the lemon curd and Lemoncello.
