Quick summary
“A classic from old diners, the sundae combines scoops of vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup, fresh banana slices, whipped cream, and colorful sprinkles. It is worth assembling at home for the speed and the classic combination of contrasts between the cold ice cream and the topping.”

Chef's tips
- Passe o boleador em água morna antes de retirar o sorvete para formar bolas lisas e compactas com facilidade

Substitutions

How to store
Assemble the sundae only at the exact moment you are going to consume it. Leftovers of the components should be stored separately: the ice cream in the freezer, the syrup in the refrigerator in a closed jar for 15 days, and the whipped cream for 2 days.
Can it be frozen?
Do not freeze the sundae after assembling, as the banana oxidizes and darkens, the whipped cream loses its aeration, and the sprinkles melt with the ice. Keep only the original container of the vanilla ice cream tightly sealed in the freezer.
What to serve with
Pairs with thin butter cookies, unsalted toasted nuts, or sugar-free espresso to balance the sweet palate of the assembly. Glasses of chilled sparkling water also refresh the palate.
Frequently asked questions
What is the secret for the chocolate syrup to run down the sides of the glass?
Heat the syrup slightly until it becomes fluid and drizzle directly on the upper inner edge of the glass before resting the ice cream scoop in the center.
How to prevent the vanilla ice cream from melting while I assemble the 4 bowls?
Leave the glass bowls in the freezer beforehand for 15 minutes and keep the scooped ice cream balls on a baking sheet inside the freezer until the moment of assembly.
How to keep banana slices from darkening if I need to wait a few minutes?
Sprinkle a few drops of fresh lemon juice over the banana slices to slow down the fruit's natural enzymatic browning.
Can I use ready-made spray whipped cream in this recipe?
Yes, spray whipped cream can be used for convenience, but it should be applied seconds before serving because it loses volume and liquefies faster than homemade.
