Method

Base and toppings

Chill serving dish (optional)

Place a dessert bowl or sundae glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes before assembling to keep the ice cream from melting quickly.

Scoop three even scoops of vanilla ice cream into the chilled bowl or glass, arranging them so they sit comfortably without crowding.

Warm the hot fudge sauce briefly: microwave for 10–15 seconds in a small microwave-safe bowl, stirring once, until slightly pourable but not hot. Alternatively, warm on the stove over low heat for 30–60 seconds.

Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of warmed hot fudge over each scoop (approximately 3 tablespoons total), allowing it to cascade down the sides for a classic sundae look.

Sprinkle the chopped toasted nuts evenly over the sauced ice cream to add crunch. Use about 2 teaspoons total.

Add three tablespoons of whipped cream in one or more dollops atop the scoops. Pipe or spoon as preferred.

Place one maraschino cherry on top of the whipped cream.

Finish with chocolate shavings or sprinkles over the whipped cream and exposed ice cream (about 1 teaspoon).

Optional additions

If using crushed cookies or brownie pieces, sprinkle them over the ice cream after the hot fudge but before the whipped cream (about 2 tablespoons) for extra texture.

If using caramel sauce, warm it briefly (10–15 seconds in the microwave) and drizzle 1 tablespoon over the assembled sundae or in a swirl before adding whipped cream.

If adding fresh fruit (banana slices or berries), arrange them around the scoops or tuck slices between scoops before drizzling sauces (about 1 tablespoon total).

Serve immediately with a long-handled spoon to enjoy the ice cream at its best texture.
