Indulge in a delightful strawberry sundae featuring homemade strawberry sauce, fresh berries, and a fluffy whipped cream topping. Perfect for summer!
Ingredients
Scale
For the Strawberry Sauce:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Sundae:
- 4 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- Whipped cream
- Crushed nuts (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- Make the Strawberry Sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Assemble the Sundae:
- Scoop the vanilla ice cream into serving bowls or glasses. Top with fresh strawberry slices and a generous drizzle of strawberry sauce. Add a dollop of whipped cream on top. Sprinkle with crushed nuts if desired. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, use coconut or almond milk ice cream. The strawberry sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
