7 Ice Cream Sundaes You’ll Want to Make on Repeat All Summer Long
Hot days call for frozen treats with all the toppings! 🍦
Ice cream doesn’t need much help to make people happy. Give Ree Drummond a scoop, a spoon, and maybe a little hot fudge, and she’s all set! As she once put it, “The really great thing about ice cream is... well, everything about it is great!" But when you want your summer dessert to feel a little more like an event, an ice cream sundae is the way to go.
That can mean a classic brownie sundae with warm fudge sauce, a tall glass filled with scoops and toppings, or a homemade waffle cup that makes the whole kitchen smell like an ice cream shop. You can also take those same flavors and turn them into an ice cream pie, ice cream cake, or crumble, which is very handy when you’re feeding a backyard full of people. There’s even a sheet pan version with a crunchy crust made from crushed chocolate sugar cones! Want to keep things easy? Try one of the no-bake recipes you can serve straight from the freezer, or set up an ice cream bar with all the fixings and let everyone build their own.
Whatever version you choose, these ice cream sundaes will make all your outdoor cookouts, pool parties, and backyard bonfires a little sweeter and a lot cooler. Here are all the dreamy recipes you’ll want to make on repeat this summer.
