Instructions

Make the strawberry sauce (10 minutes):
- In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Allow the sauce to cool slightly before using. You can make this sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Assemble the sundaes (5 minutes):
- Place 1 or 2 scoops of strawberry ice cream into each serving dish or sundae glass.
- Drizzle the homemade strawberry sauce generously over the ice cream.
- Add a handful of fresh sliced strawberries on top for an extra burst of flavor.
Top with whipped cream and garnish (2 minutes):
- Top each sundae with a generous swirl of whipped cream.
- Garnish with a few extra fresh strawberries on top, if desired.
Serve:
- Serve your sundaes immediately, and enjoy the perfect blend of creamy, sweet, and fruity flavors!

Notes

For an extra touch, you can add a sprinkle of crushed cookies or a drizzle of chocolate sauce to your sundae. If you prefer a smoother sauce, simply blend the cooked strawberries before adding the vanilla extract.

This sundae is a delightful and refreshing dessert that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser, whether you’re serving it at a party or enjoying it all to yourself. Enjoy every spoonful of this strawberry-filled treat!
