Ingredients
Ice Cream
- 4 cups vanilla ice cream
Sauce
- 1 cup hot fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Toppings
- Whipped cream, as needed
- Maraschino cherries, as needed
- Chopped nuts (optional), as needed
- Chocolate sprinkles (optional), as needed
Instructions
- Scoop Ice Cream: In serving bowls or sundae glasses, scoop 1 cup of vanilla ice cream into each, creating a solid base for your sundae.
- Warm Hot Fudge Sauce: Heat the hot fudge sauce either in the microwave for about 30 seconds or gently on the stovetop until it is hot and easily pourable.
- Drizzle Sauce: Generously pour the warmed hot fudge sauce over each scoop of ice cream, ensuring full coverage for that classic chocolate indulgence.
- Add Toppings: Top each sundae with a generous swirl of whipped cream, place a maraschino cherry on top, and sprinkle with chopped nuts and chocolate sprinkles if desired for extra texture and flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the sundae right away while the hot fudge is warm and the ice cream is perfectly cold for the ultimate contrast of temperatures and textures.
Notes
- For a richer fudge sauce, consider making your own using cocoa powder, sugar, butter, and cream.
- Chopped nuts such as peanuts, almonds, or walnuts add a delicious crunch but can be omitted for nut allergies.
- Serve immediately to prevent the ice cream from melting too much.
- To make the sundae vegan, substitute vegan ice cream and dairy-free whipped cream.
