Ingredients

Units Scale
For the strawberry sauce:
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the sundae:
  • 4 scoops strawberry ice cream
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
  • Extra fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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!
