Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups of vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup of strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup of blueberries
- 1/4 cup of whipped cream
- 1/4 cup of granola (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 1 cup of sliced strawberries, 1 cup of blueberries, 1/4 cup of whipped cream, and 1/4 cup of granola (if using).
- In a medium bowl, wash the strawberries and blueberries thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Slice the strawberries into thin pieces, ensuring they are uniform for an appealing presentation.
- Take four serving bowls or dessert glasses and scoop 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream into each bowl as the base of your sundae.
- Evenly distribute the sliced strawberries over the vanilla ice cream in each bowl, followed by the blueberries.
- Next, add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of the fruit layer in each bowl.
- If you choose to include granola, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granola on top of the whipped cream in each serving for added crunch and texture.
- For a festive touch, consider garnishing with a few whole strawberries or blueberries on top of the whipped cream.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Red White and Blueberry Sundaes!
Tips
- Choose ripe, fresh berries for the most vibrant flavor and color. Look for strawberries that are bright red and blueberries that are plump and deep blue.
- For an extra-luxurious touch, use high-quality vanilla ice cream or even homemade vanilla bean ice cream.
- Chill your serving bowls beforehand to keep the ice cream from melting too quickly.
- If you want to make this dessert ahead of time, prepare all components separately and assemble just before serving to maintain the perfect texture.
- For a gourmet twist, try adding a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of fresh mint leaves on top.
- The granola is optional, but it adds a delightful crunch that elevates the entire dessert experience.
- For a kid-friendly version, let everyone build their own sundae for a fun, interactive dessert experience.
