Red, White, Blue and Chocolate Ice Cream Sundae


A special Salute and Thank You to all the guys and the gals who have served and are serving our country! 

I made this ice cream sundae for the Memorial Day holiday with all the patriotic colors, fruit in season and, of course, chocolate! Delicious and refreshing on a hot day after a barbeque. 

Directions:

Chill dessert dishes. Use whole fresh blueberries, and sliced fresh strawberries. Suggest sprinkling a little sugar (or sugar substitute) over the sliced strawberries, just enough to make them glisten and remove some of the tartness.

Put a nice big scoop of vanilla ice cream in the bottom of the chilled dish. Add a layer of sliced strawberries and drizzle with chocolate sauce (I like the dark chocolate sauce). Then another big scoop of vanilla ice cream, a layer of blueberries, and drizzle with chocolate sauce. Top with whipped cream, drizzle of chocolate sauce, and garnish with a whole strawberry. Enjoy!

      Dhaston, you really must try this if you like fruit, ice cream and chocolate! I took this photo yesterday and the whipped cream was even higher but had melted a bit before I got the picture taken. Then we ate it...LOL!

    Madilyn, you're killing me. You must know that an ice cream sundae is the one food I find irresistible. This one looks "out of this world."

      LOL Marty! I am an ice cream lover, too! This is very simple and it’s my own creation. I came up with it yesterday. My husband and I ate it immediately after I took the photo (hence the two spoons!). Oh, it was so good!!

      Thanks CrazyMama! I removed the "offending" template and just put up a simple Blogger one for now. I am still working on some redesigning before posting again soon! :)
