Main Ingredients

  • 4 ripe peaches sliced
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream

Toppings

  • Whipped cream
  • Chopped nuts
  • Maraschino cherries

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash and slice the ripe peaches, removing the pits. Optionally, peel the peaches for a smoother texture.
  • Allow the vanilla ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.

Assembling the Sundae

  • In each serving dish, place a scoop of ice cream. Add a layer of sliced peaches on top, followed by another scoop of ice cream.
  • Top the sundae with whipped cream, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, and a maraschino cherry. Add any additional garnishes as desired.

Serving

  • Serve the sundaes immediately to enjoy them at their best. Optionally, chill the serving dishes beforehand to help keep the ice cream from melting too quickly.

Storage

  • If you have leftover ingredients, store the sliced peaches in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Ice cream can be refrozen if needed.
