Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Vanilla ice cream | 4 scoops |
| Fresh whipped cream | 1½ cups (chilled) |
| Caramel sauce | 4 tbsp |
| Crushed graham crackers | ½ cup |
| Banana slices | 1 medium banana |
| Strawberries (halved) | 6–8 fresh |
| Chopped nuts (optional) | ¼ cup |
| Maraschino cherries | 2–4 (for topping) |
Instructions
Choose sundae glasses or wide dessert bowls. Chill them in the freezer for 10 minutes beforehand for a frostier experience.
Place 1–2 scoops of vanilla ice cream at the bottom of each bowl. You can also mix it up with strawberry or caramel swirl for added color.
Generously spoon or pipe cold whipped cream over the ice cream, creating a fluffy second layer. Use a piping bag with a star nozzle for a café-style swirl look.
Top with banana slices and halved strawberries, then sprinkle with crushed graham crackers for crunch and flavor.
Warm up your caramel sauce slightly (10–15 seconds in the microwave) and drizzle over the sundae in a zigzag motion.
Finish with a generous swirl of whipped cream, a dash of chopped nuts if using, and finally a maraschino cherry on top.
Notes
-
Make it extra creamy by layering whipped cream between each scoop of ice cream.
-
Swap caramel for hot fudge or berry compote for variety.
-
Add cookie crumbles (Oreos, vanilla wafers) for more texture.
