Ice Cream Sundaes

Ice cream sundaes can be made in so many different ways. The basics are quite simple but with a bit of imagination and ingenuity you can take a simple sundae and create your own personal masterpiece.

The basics are quite simple.

Use a scoop or two of ice cream in a sundae glass. Pick your toppings such as caramel or chocolate syrup, nuts, fresh fruit and top with a bit of whip cream and top with a cherry.

Here is where the fun can come in though. Depending on the season any fresh fruit will be a great addition. I have used strawberries (one of my personal favorites), fresh peaches, even various melons to spice up my sundaes. If you are having a children's party sometimes allowing them to make their own sundaes (minimum recommended age 8 from personal experience) providing you have an area that will be easy to clean up. is a great treat for them and can be quite hilarious to see the concoctions they will put together.

There are a variety of commercial sauces available too. Some of the best in my opinion can be made from the juices of whatever fresh fruit is in season. By taking the juice and adding a bit of sugar and corn starch as a thickener you can make an excellent syrup for your sundaes.

Most of all have fun and enjoy.
