Hello Ice Cream Lovers. Ice cream is delicious by itself no doubt but adding to it gives it an extra kick. Today I will share some easy to make sundaes at home. I will share with you the Hot Fudge, Carmel Cashew, and Strawberry Short Cake Sundaes. Also I will be releasing the first competition for this community.
Hot Fudge Sundae
This sundae is probably one of the most popular. You really only need three things: ice cream, hot fudge, and some mixed nuts. Easy instructions include:
- Heat up the hot fudge
- Scooping ice cream in a cup of bowl
- Pour hot fudge over ice cream
- Drop mixed nuts over the top
Easy and quick but very tasty and satisfying. The three things really taste so good together. The warm hot fudge and the cold ice cream along with the nuts give that cold and warm taste in your mouth with a small crunch.
Carmel Cashew Sundae
This one is a popular choice for many as well. Only need three ingredients to make this one too: ice cream, carmel and cashews. Easy instructions include:
- Heat up the carmel--can use room temperature/refrigerated carmel sauce as well
- Scoop ice cream in dish or bowl
- Pour carmel on top of ice cream
- Drop cashews on top of everything
Another quick and easy very tasty treat that can be made right at home. This one has that hot and cold taste in your mouth with a softer crunch of a cashew. This time a little more ice cream was scooped. I placed carmel and cashews on top after the first scoop. I simply did a repeat after the second scoop.
Strawberry Shortcake Sundae
Not going to lie this is one of my favorite sundaes. It's a little more work than the others but I ensure you it's totally worth it. For this, you will need the following ingredients: ice cream, strawberries, sugar,sponge cake dessert shells, and whip cream. Follow these instructions and you too can enjoy:
Step one: Cut up strawberries
First wash them under cold water. Most strawberries can be cut in half, larger ones cut into more pieces. I used about 5 strawberries varying in size from small to large. It will serve about 5 or 6 servings.I place the cut up strawberries on a paper plate.
Step two: Mash the strawberries
I used a potato masher. You can use a fork but I will tell you it will takes a lot longer. You want to mash them to a consistently where you see a lot of strawberry juice but still some remaining strawberry skin.
Step 3: Placed mashed strawberries into a glass bowl and add sugar.
You can add as much sugar as you want I added about 3 tablespoons. No I didn't measure them out, haha. Once added stir it in than cover bowl and let sit in the refrigerator for a good thirty minutes. It can sit in refrigerator much longer as well, that way it will have more time to marinate.
Step 4: Place dessert shell in dish and spoon some of the the mashed strawberries over the top.
Step 5: Scoop ice cream and place it over the dessert shell. Add strawberries over the top of ice cream.
Step 6: Spray whip cream over the top of everything. Add a strawberry 🍓 on top!!
I can certainly tell you the layers on this sundae are so delicious. I try get everything on the spoon in every bite 😋 I like adding the strawberry on top. It the very first thing I eat, it just gets me ready to enjoy a more sweet strawberry taste underneath.
Just to let you know this can be made with a different cake bases. Above was done with a small angel food cake loaf I bought. The small loaf provided 3 servings. I've also done it with both vanilla and chocolate cakes without the frosting. Also other fruits can be used such as raspberries or blueberries 😊
I ask all of you which one of these would you choose? I'm addicted to the strawberry shortcake sundae. Not counting but over the course of a year I probably have made this about a half a dozen times. All are tasty and it's nice to have some variety with our sundaes.

It's hard to beat a good strawberry shortcake! So simple, yet so delicious. I haven't had a sundae version, but it looks amazing. 😋
Yes a good strawberry shortcake is good. I will have the non Sundae version when there is no ice cream, haha. The ice cream add makes it even better IMO. Thanks for dropping by🍨🍦
Yeah! I don't want to commit to joining the contest, in case I don't make it to the ice cream parlor this week, but if I do, I'll post about my sundae! All this ice cream talk makes me want one, even in winter.
Thanks for considering it and no biggie if you don't have the time. There will be more 😊
Haha tbh I'm in it regardless of temperature
With all these creations, you can make business out of it.
I want to join but, we only have ice Cream but no Sundae huhu
Well ice cream is still enjoyable even though toppings may not be available. Feel free to write about any ice cream experiences. Not here to just to do competitions 😊 Take care 🍨🍦
