Classic Hot Fudge Sundae Recipe

Classic Hot Fudge Sundae Recipe

 

This recipe is for a single serving, so you can easily scale it up for more people.

Ingredients:

  • 3 scoops of your favorite chocolate ice cream
  • Hot fudge sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • Whipped cream (from a can or homemade)
  • Maraschino cherries
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced
  • A classic sundae glass or bowl

Instructions:

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Make sure your hot fudge sauce is warm and pourable. If you’re using a jar, you can warm it in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-20 second intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches the desired consistency.
  2. Scoop the ice cream: Place three scoops of chocolate ice cream into your sundae glass or bowl.
  3. Add the hot fudge: Generously drizzle the warm hot fudge sauce over the ice cream scoops. The sauce should cascade down the sides of the scoops and pool at the bottom of the glass.
  4. Top with whipped cream: Swirl a generous amount of whipped cream on top of the scoops.
  5. Add the cherries: Place one or two maraschino cherries on top of the whipped cream. You can also add a few more around the base of the sundae.
  6. Garnish with strawberries: Arrange the sliced fresh strawberries around the ice cream scoops, either standing them up or placing them on the sides of the glass.

Tips and Variations:

  • For the hot fudge sauce: For an extra-rich sauce, you can make your own. A simple recipe involves combining cocoa powder, sugar, butter, and milk or heavy cream in a saucepan and heating until it thickens.
  • Other toppings: Feel free to add other toppings like chopped nuts (peanuts, walnuts, or pecans), sprinkles, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce.
  • Different flavors: You can easily swap out the chocolate ice cream for vanilla, strawberry, or a combination of flavors.
  • The base: To make the sundae even more decadent, you can place a brownie, a slice of pound cake, or a banana (for a classic banana split) at the bottom of the glass before adding the ice cream.
