Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup Pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup Whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Start by toasting the chopped walnuts. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat, add the walnuts, and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let them cool.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup, unsalted butter, and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the butter is melted, and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Add a pinch of salt for balance, then remove from heat.
3. In serving bowls, place two scoops of vanilla ice cream in each bowl.
4. Drizzle the warm maple sauce generously over the ice cream.
5. Sprinkle the toasted walnuts on top of the sauce.
6. Add a dollop of whipped cream to each sundae.
7. Optionally, sprinkle a small amount of granulated sugar over the whipped cream for an extra touch of sweetness and texture.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Maple Walnut Ice Cream Sundae!
