Self-serve frozen yogurt is all the rage these days, so why not create your own self-serve ice cream sundae bar for your next summer shindig? It’s an easy dessert option because there is very little prep required and it will please kids and adults alike!
Flavours:
For a successful sundae bar, have a few different flavours of ice cream for your guests. You can’t go wrong with chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. Or to simplify things, pick up a couple tubs of neapolitan ice cream.
Tip: Be sure to keep ice cream in the freezer right until you serve it!
Toppings:
Everyone knows that ice cream sundaes are all about the toppings! Think of the variety of toppings you can find at your local frozen yogurt spot and try to replicate some favourites. A few safe choices are cookie crumbles, brownie chunks, gummy candies, coconut, chocolate chips and of course, an assortment of colourful sprinkles. Have each topping in its own little bowl with a serving spoon to make it simple for guests to serve themselves.
Tip: Nuts makes another great topping, but be sure to check for allergies before you add them to your spread!
Sauces:
An ice cream sundae isn’t complete without a chocolate fudge sauce! To round out the options, be sure to also have a caramel and strawberry sauce available. And don’t forget the whipped cream!
The cherry on top:
Literally! For a finishing touch, have some maraschino cherries at the end of your sundae bar.
