Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup chocolate syrup
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup maraschino cherries
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (optional, for added crunch)
Instructions
- Take the vanilla ice cream out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften.
- While the ice cream is softening, chop the pecans or walnuts into smaller pieces for better distribution.
- Measure out the chocolate chips if using. Optionally, toast the nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for enhanced flavor.
- Grab a large sundae glass or bowl.
- Scoop 1 cup of softened vanilla ice cream into the bottom of the glass, packing it gently.
- Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup over the ice cream, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Add a generous drizzle of caramel sauce (about 2 tablespoons).
- Sprinkle a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts on top.
- Repeat the layering process for a total of three layers, adjusting based on your preference and glass size.
- Top the final layer of ice cream with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
- Drizzle more chocolate syrup and caramel sauce over the whipped cream.
- Optionally, sprinkle chocolate chips on top for added crunch.
- Finish with a maraschino cherry on top.
- Serve immediately with a long spoon to enjoy the creamy ice cream and fresh toppings.
- If making multiple sundaes, you can prepare them all at once and keep them in the freezer for a short time, but serving right away is recommended for the best experience.
- Customize with additional toppings like crushed graham crackers or a drizzle of peanut butter for a unique twist.
Notes
- Use high-quality ice cream for the best flavor.
- Feel free to experiment with different nuts or toppings based on your preference.
