I was looking though my recipes, for a different (other then a cake) dessert I want to take to a luncheon this Sunday, I found this one that is about 30 years old. I haven't made it in years.

Brandy Bomb

1/4 cup brandy
1 cup or 1 pound pitted dark sweet cherries, drained
1 quart vanilla ice cream
1 quart chocolate ice cream
chocolate curls
1 cup whipping cream
few drops red food coloring

Pour brandy over cherries and let stand 6 hours. Soften vanilla ice cream and mold it to make a shell. Freeze until firm. Soften chocolate ice cream and stir in cherries and brandy. Spoon into vanilla shell. Cover and freeze until firm. Unmold. Whip cream until soft peaks are formed. Add food coloring. Apply with pastry bag. Top with chocolate curls made by shaving a chocolate candy bar with a potato peeler. The chocolate candy must be room temperature for easy curling.
