- Fruit (optional)
- Honey (optional)
Steps
Step 1. Choose your ice cream cup
Ice cream sundae are delicious in any container. They are usually served in round cups, bowls or glasses, in glass or plastic. If you intend to turn your sundae into a banana split, go for a long, oval-shaped plate.
Step 2. Create the foundation for your sundae
Pour two or three generous spoonfuls of your favorite ice cream into the bottom of the bowl. Vanilla ice cream is a classic and traditional choice for a sundae, but you can decide to be creative and even experiment with a taste you've never tasted before.
Step 3. Pour the topping over the ice cream
The classic recipe is to use a chocolate, caramel or strawberry flavored sauce. It is highly advisable to heat the sauce before spreading it over the ice cream, thus making it easier to work with. Pour the sauce over the ice cream using a spoon if the package is not easily compressible.
Step 4. Add the decorative ingredients
Here your imagination will be your only limit. You can use any treats you can think of. Some of the more common choices include colorful sprinkles, crumbled nuts, mini marshmallows, candy like M & Ms, and shredded coconut. Find out what your pantry hides and unleash your imagination. You can also add some chocolate chips, pieces of fruit or gummy bears.
If you wish, you can also break up your favorite treats or candies and add them to your sundae
Step 5. Top with a whipped cream spiral
Sprinkle it on your sundae and then add a maraschino cherry for a finishing touch. Enjoy your meal!
Advice
- Be creative with the decorations to make your sundae as delicious as possible.
