Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 1 piece Brownie or chocolate cake
- 1 cup Hot fudge sauce
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 1 piece Maraschino cherry
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings or sprinkles
- 1 small piece Dry ice (optional, for effect)
- 1 cup Water (for dry ice effect)
Instructions
1. Start by preparing your base. Place a piece of brownie or chocolate cake on a serving plate or bowl to form the foundation of the 'volcano.'
2. Scoop the vanilla ice cream into balls and arrange them on top of the brownie or cake, creating a mound shape. Aim for a volcano-like structure with the ice cream scoops stacked higher in the center.
3. Heat the hot fudge sauce gently in the microwave or on the stovetop until warm but not boiling.
4. Pour the warm fudge sauce over the top of the ice cream mound, allowing it to drip down like molten lava.
5. Top the sundae with whipped cream, spiraling it around the peak of the ice cream mound.
6. Add a maraschino cherry to the very top for a dramatic finish.
7. Sprinkle chocolate shavings or sprinkles over the sundae for additional texture and decoration.
8. If using dry ice for the smoky effect, place the small piece of dry ice in a separate bowl or compartment near the sundae and add water right before serving. Be cautious and instruct guests not to touch or ingest the dry ice.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your theatrical Volcano Ice Cream Sundae!
