Ingredients
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream
- 2 cups cherry cola
- 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
- 1 tablespoon maraschino cherry juice (optional for extra cherry flavor)
- Chopped nuts or chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)
Feel free to substitute the vanilla ice cream with your favorite flavor, or use diet cherry cola for a lighter version. The maraschino cherry juice is optional but adds a delightful touch of sweetness and color.
Instructions
- Start by chilling your serving glasses in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This step helps keep your sundae cool and refreshing.
- Scoop two generous balls of vanilla ice cream into each chilled glass.
- Pour half a cup of cherry cola over the ice cream in each glass, allowing the fizz to create a delightful frothy top.
- Add a handful of fresh cherry halves to each serving, letting them nestle into the ice cream and cola.
- Drizzle a tablespoon of chocolate syrup over the top, watching it cascade down the ice cream.
- Top each sundae with a dollop of whipped cream, followed by a drizzle of maraschino cherry juice if using.
- Sprinkle with chopped nuts or chocolate shavings for an added crunch and garnish with a whole cherry on top.
- Serve immediately with a spoon and a straw to enjoy every layer of this fizzy, creamy delight.
Remember, the key is to savor each step and enjoy the process. Just like my abuela taught me, trust your senses and have fun with it!
