Surtido De Helados Variados Recipe

Remove all ice cream tubs from the freezer and place them on the counter for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly so they are scoopable but not melted.

Place sauces (hot fudge, caramel, strawberry) in small serving bowls or squeeze bottles for easy drizzling.

Arrange toppings: put crushed nuts, chocolate chips, sprinkles, toasted coconut, and maraschino cherries into separate small bowls. Place fresh fruit (strawberries and banana) on a platter and mint leaves in a small bowl.

Set out waffle cones, sundae bowls, and spoons on a serving tray so guests can help themselves or so you can assemble sundaes quickly.

Classic Sundae (Vanilla + Hot Fudge)

Scoop 2 generous scoops (about 180 ml total) of vanilla ice cream into a sundae bowl. Warm 30–40 ml of hot fudge if it is very stiff (10–15 seconds in microwave). Drizzle 20–30 ml hot fudge over the scoops, add a dollop (about 30 ml) of whipped cream, sprinkle 10 g crushed nuts, and top with one maraschino cherry and a mint leaf.

Chocolate Lover (Chocolate + Chocolate Chips)

Scoop 2 scoops (about 180 ml) of chocolate ice cream into a bowl. Drizzle 20–30 ml hot fudge and sprinkle 15 g mini chocolate chips and 5 g sprinkles. Add whipped cream (≈20 ml) and a cherry or mint leaf if desired.

Strawberry Delight (Strawberry + Fresh Fruit)

Scoop 2 scoops (about 180 ml) of strawberry ice cream into a bowl. Spoon 25–30 ml strawberry sauce over the ice cream, arrange 3–4 halved strawberries and a few banana slices around the scoops, add a small dollop (≈20 ml) of whipped cream and sprinkle with toasted coconut (≈5 g). Garnish with a mint leaf.

Mint Chip Cone (Mint + Sprinkles)

Scoop 2 scoops (about 140 ml) of mint chocolate chip into a waffle cone. Roll the top briefly in sprinkles (10 g) and press a few mini chocolate chips into the top scoop. Serve with a napkin or place in a cone holder.

Create-Your-Own Assortment (for guests)

Offer bowls of each ice cream and all toppings so guests can assemble. Suggest combinations: caramel + bananas + nuts; vanilla + strawberry sauce + fresh strawberries; chocolate + caramel + coconut. Provide small scoops so guests can take single scoops of several flavors.

Keep any unused ice cream tubs in the freezer between assembly batches to prevent melting. If preparing multiple sundaes in advance, place finished sundaes on a chilled tray briefly (no more than 5 minutes) and serve immediately.

Clean any drips on bowl edges, add spoons, and serve immediately. Replenish toppings as needed during service.
