Ingredients

6 ounces pitted prunes (about 1 1/2 cups)

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons Armagnac

1/4 cup sugar

Pinch ground cinnamon

1 quart vanilla ice cream

Preparation

Bring prunes, 1 cup Armagnac, and the sugar to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until liquid is syrupy and prunes are softened, about 20 minutes.

Transfer prunes in syrup to a heatproof bowl, and stir in remaining 2 tablespoons Armagnac and the cinnamon. Let cool. Spoon prunes over ice cream, and drizzle with some syrup.
