    • Chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, or fruit sauces (strawberry, raspberry, etc.)
    • Whipped cream
    • Chopped nuts (like peanuts, almonds, or pecans)
    • Cherries (classic maraschino cherries are a popular choice)
    • Fresh fruit (like sliced bananas, strawberries, or blueberries)

Instructions

  1. Scoop the ice cream: Start by adding two or three scoops of your favorite ice cream into a bowl or sundae dish.
  2. Add sauces: Drizzle chocolate syrup, caramel, or fruit sauce on top of the ice cream scoops.
