A hot fudge sundae is a classic dessert made by topping scoops of ice cream (traditionally vanilla) with hot fudge sauce. Here’s a basic way to prepare one:

Ingredients:

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Hot fudge sauce
  • Whipped cream
  • Maraschino cherries
  • Chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Scoop Ice Cream: Place one or more scoops of vanilla ice cream in a bowl or sundae dish.
  2. Add Hot Fudge: Warm the fudge sauce according to the package instructions or your homemade recipe. Drizzle the hot fudge generously over the ice cream.
  3. Top with Whipped Cream: Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the fudge-covered ice cream.
  4. Garnish: Finish with a maraschino cherry on top and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.

Variations:

  • Ice Cream Flavors: While vanilla is traditional, you can use any flavor of ice cream.
  • Sauce Alternatives: Try caramel sauce, fruit sauces, or peanut butter sauce for a twist.
  • Toppings: Customize with toppings like sprinkles, cookie crumbs, fresh fruit, or candy pieces.
