If you’re looking for a reason to indulge, International Ice Cream Sundae Day is it! Celebrated every year on July 8, this delightful holiday is an open invitation to dive spoon-first into layers of frozen joy. Whether you're a fan of classic banana splits or over-the-top creations loaded with toppings, today is all about celebrating one of the world’s most joyful desserts: the ice cream sundae. And if you thought you’ve tried every sundae variation out there — think again.
Imagine this: crispy pieces of waffle cone acting as your chips, topped with a rainbow of ice cream scoops — vanilla, chocolate, black raspberry. Then comes a drizzle of rich chocolate sauce and golden caramel, followed by clouds of whipped cream, sliced bananas, maraschino cherries, and a shower of rainbow sprinkles. It’s part sundae, part snack, and 100% party on a plate. This year, it’s all about Ice Cream Nachos. This recipe is from Barefeet in the Kitchen.
