Instructions
- Prep Your Toppings (10 minutes): Wash and slice fresh fruit like strawberries and bananas. Chop nuts roughly but not too fine. Place each topping in small bowls or ramekins for easy access.
- Arrange the Board (5 minutes): On your wooden or slate board, set out the bowls of toppings spaced evenly. Leave some open space for the ice cream scoops. Add garnishes like mint leaves and cherries around the edges.
- Scoop the Ice Cream (5-7 minutes): Using an ice cream scoop dipped briefly in warm water, place 3-4 generous scoops of different flavors on the board. Space them so guests can easily reach each one.
- Add Syrups and Sauces (2 minutes): Drizzle chocolate syrup and caramel sauce over the ice cream or place in small bowls for dipping. Warm the peanut butter slightly to drizzle if using.
- Final Touches and Serve (1-2 minutes): Add whipped cream dollops near the ice cream, place maraschino cherries on top, and scatter some sprinkles for color. Invite everyone to build their own sundae masterpiece!
Notes
If ice cream is too hard to scoop, let it sit out for 5 minutes before scooping. Prep toppings in advance to save time. Serve immediately to avoid melting. Use warm syrups for easier drizzling. Watch portions to avoid sogginess. For dairy-free options, use coconut or almond milk ice cream and swap nuts for seeds if allergies are a concern.
