A quick and indulgent homemade ice cream sundae featuring creamy vanilla ice cream, a rich homemade caramel sauce, and crunchy toppings. Perfect for any occasion and ready in under 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) vanilla ice cream
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free option)
  • ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (30 g) chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • ¼ cup (45 g) chocolate chips (optional)
  • Maraschino cherries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the Caramel Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Place over medium heat and stir constantly to avoid burning. Cook about 5 minutes until sugar dissolves and sauce thickens slightly, coating the back of a spoon with a glossy appearance.
  2. Add Vanilla: Remove saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Prepare the Ice Cream: Let vanilla ice cream sit out for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
  4. Assemble the Sundae: Scoop generous portions of ice cream into serving bowls or glasses. Drizzle warm caramel sauce evenly over the ice cream.
  5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle chopped nuts and chocolate chips over the sundae. Top with maraschino cherries.
  6. Serve Immediately: Enjoy right away to experience the perfect mix of creamy, crunchy, and gooey textures.

Notes

Avoid overheating the caramel sauce to prevent burning. Let the ice cream soften slightly before scooping for best texture. Sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days and reheated gently. Toast nuts before adding for extra flavor. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use coconut milk ice cream.
