Notes

The recipe makes one ice cream sundae.  But you can easily scale it up to make as many as you want!
I have gone for the classic sundae with chocolate sauce, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and a cherry on top, but you can use whatever flavor combination you like!  See the main post for some more deliciously decadent ideas!
