I remember making sundaes with my family, each of us adding our favorite toppings and flavors. It’s a wonderful way to bring everyone together in the kitchen, creating a treat that’s as fun to make as it is to eat. Let’s dive into this delicious recipe!
Ingredients
- 4 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup chocolate syrup
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup crushed nuts (walnuts or peanuts)
- 1/2 cup maraschino cherries
- 1 banana, sliced (optional)
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Creating your sundae is a simple yet satisfying process. Here’s how to do it:
Start by scooping the vanilla ice cream into serving bowls or tall sundae glasses. Aim for two generous scoops per serving to ensure a delightful base for your toppings.
Drizzle the rich chocolate syrup generously over the ice cream. You can let it cascade down the sides for that classic sundae look!
Next, add a fluffy layer of whipped cream on top. Feel free to pile it on; after all, who doesn’t love whipped cream?
Sprinkle the crushed nuts over the whipped cream for a nice crunch and added flavor. If you’re feeling adventurous, mix in other nuts like almonds or pecans for variation.
Top off your sundae with a maraschino cherry, placing it right in the center for that iconic finish. If you’re using bananas, place the slices around or on top of the whipped cream for a delicious twist.
Finally, add sprinkles if desired, making your sundae colorful and festive. Grab a spoon and dig in!
Enjoy your homemade sundae, and remember to experiment with different flavors and toppings to make it uniquely yours!
