Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 chocolate chip cookies
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate sauce
- 1/4 cup whipped cream
- Chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften slightly for 2-3 minutes to make scooping easier.
- Place each chocolate chip cookie on a separate dessert plate or in a shallow bowl, creating the base for the sundae.
- Using an ice cream scoop, carefully place one generous scoop of vanilla ice cream directly on top of each chocolate chip cookie.
- Warm the chocolate sauce slightly by microwaving in 10-second intervals or using a double boiler to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Slowly drizzle the warm chocolate sauce over each ice cream scoop, allowing it to cascade down the sides of the ice cream and cookie.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of each ice cream scoop, creating a decorative peak.
- Sprinkle additional chocolate chips over the whipped cream and around the plate for extra texture and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately to ensure the ice cream remains cold and the chocolate sauce stays warm and fluid.
- Optional: For an extra indulgent touch, you can briefly torch the whipped cream or add a maraschino cherry on top.
Tips
- Soften the Ice Cream: For easier scooping, let the vanilla ice cream sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before you start assembling your sundaes. This will make it much easier to achieve those perfect scoops!
- Warm the Chocolate Sauce: To enhance the flavor and texture, warm the chocolate sauce slightly in the microwave or on the stove. This will help it drizzle beautifully over your sundae.
- Layer Creatively: Don’t be afraid to get creative with your presentation! Use a shallow bowl or a tall glass to showcase the layers of cookie, ice cream, and toppings.
- Make It Your Own: Feel free to add your favorite toppings! Consider crushed nuts, sprinkles, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve Immediately: To enjoy the best of both worlds, serve your sundaes immediately after assembly. This way, the ice cream stays cold and the chocolate sauce remains warm and luscious.
- Add a Fun Twist: For a playful touch, try adding a maraschino cherry on top or even a sprinkle of sea salt to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Perfect Portions: This recipe yields 4 servings, but you can easily double or halve the ingredients based on your needs.Enjoy crafting this delicious dessert that’s sure to be a hit with everyone!
