✨ Tips for the Perfect Ice Cream Sundae

• Chill the serving glasses before assembling the sundae.
• Use different flavours and toppings to create layers of taste and texture.
• Add sauces just before serving so the ice cream doesn’t melt too quickly.
• You can use homemade ice cream or your favourite store-bought flavours.
• For extra crunch, add roasted almonds, walnuts or colourful sprinkles.

🍫 Topping Ideas

Try your sundae with Oreo cookies, brownie pieces, caramel sauce, roasted nuts, chocolate shavings, sprinkles, wafers or fresh fruits.
