Ice Cream Preparation

1. Scoop the Ice Cream

Using an ice cream scoop, place 1 cup of vanilla ice cream into each serving bowl.

Hot Fudge Sauce Preparation

2. Make the Hot Fudge Sauce

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 cup of heavy cream. Stir over medium heat until the ingredients are well combined.

3. Add Butter and Vanilla

Once the mixture is hot and begins to bubble, add 1 stick of butter and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth.

4. Simmer

Reduce the heat to low and let the hot fudge sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.

Whipped Cream Preparation

5. Whip the Cream

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 2 tbs of powdered sugar, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

Assembly

6. Assemble the Sundae

Pour the warm hot fudge sauce over the scoops of vanilla ice cream in each bowl.

7. Top with Whipped Cream

Add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of the hot fudge.

8. Add Toppings

If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts and place a maraschino cherry on top of each sundae.
