Neighborhood Ice Cream Sundae Source: Summertime Treats: Recipes and Crafts for the Whole Family Serves 12 RECIPE INGREDIENTS 3 half-gallon cartons ice cream in your favorite flavors 1 1/2 cups homemade or purchased fudge sauce 1 1/2 cups homemade or purchased chocolate sauce 1 1/2 cups homemade or purchased butterscotch or caramel sauce 2 jars (7 ounces each) marshmallow cream 4 to 6 tablespoons half and half 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts 1 cup Spanish peanuts 1 cup coarsely chopped toasted almonds 2 pints strawberries, hulled, sliced, and sweetened Assorted jars of decorative candy sprinkles 8 bananas peeled and sliced lengthwise 1 jar (10 ounces) maraschino cherries, drained RECIPE METHOD To prepare ice cream, remove the ice cream from the cartons several hours or the day before the party, and cut each block into 1-inch-thick slices. Place the slices between pieces of waxed paper, and repack or store in plastic bags in the freezer. To prepare the sundaes, first set up the table: Run sheets of aluminum foil the length of the two tables. Fold up the edges of the foil to form side walls. You will now have 1 giant try covering each table. (For easy cleanup when the party is over, roll up the foil and toss.) Warm the fudge, chocolate, and caramel sauces, and pour them into separate small pitchers. To dilute the marshmallow cream to a pouring consistency, place the open jar in the microwave and heat it for 15 to 20 seconds. Stir with a spoon so the warm, puffy cream deflates, then stir in enough half-and-half to achieve the proper consistency. Pour into a small pitcher. Place the walnuts, peanuts, almonds, and sliced strawberries in separate bowls. Just before serving time, gather up your family of helpers to place the ice cream slices lengthwise down the center of the foil "tray." Put the pitchers, bowls, and decorative sprinkles along the length of the tray and the bananas alongside the slices of ice cream. Pass the cherries and spoons, and see how many different sundae combinations you and your family and friends can create. Recipe reprinted by permission of Chronicle.
