Ice cream Sundaes

Today is all about sundaes, which I will be having on Sunday. What makes the perfect sundae is always a debate. Are you a hot fudge fan or caramel? Peanuts or walnuts, maybe pecans? Sprinkles, cookie, gummy bears? Strawberry, Pineapple or butterscotch syrup? Bananas? Then vanilla, chocolate, strawberry or another flavor?
Well for this weekend I will be making more than one, so here are some ideas.
Blueberry Sundae
Vanilla ice cream (2 scoops), dusting of cinnamon, fresh blueberry sauce, roasted pecans, whipped cream and of course a cherry on top (or blueberry). Blueberry sauce is easy as pie. 2cups fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar up to a half cup depending on your sweet tooth, half teaspoon orange zest and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon apply heat, stir frequently and wait for the magic to happen. The sauce is ready when the berries burst and it has thickened. Serve hot or at room temp.
Classic Hot fudge
Vanilla ice cream (2 scoops), hot fudge by the gallon, mixed nuts or your preference, whipped cream, and a cherry.
My wife Amber's favorite is a butterscotch sundae.
Vanilla ice cream, butterscotch, mixed nuts, whipped cream and a cherry. Simple and Delicious
I love a cookies and cream.
One scoop chocolate and one vanilla, hot fudge, crumble Oreo cookies, whipped cream and a whole Oreo on top.
Well that was a few I'll post pictures Sunday night.
