Tips for Serving Sundaes
Sundae Prep
- Buy the right amount of ice cream.
Typically, a sundae contain 1 to 1 1/2 cups of ice cream. Here’s 2 charts to help you determine how much ice cream you will need to buy for the number of guests you are having. - Choose complimenting ice cream and toppings: go for traditional combos or a more unique blend of flavors (check out our sundae ideas below!)
- Choose a location for serving the sundaes that provides ample space for your guests to make their dessert without being crowded.
- If serving several different types of ice cream, provide a different scoop for each ice cream.
This allows several guests to serve themself at once and prevents flavors from being mixed. Set out scoops so they are ready to go. - Place each topping in a separate dish with it’s own separate serving spoon
This allows several guests to serve themself at once and prevents flavors from being mixed. Place toppings in dishes and set out spoons before the party starts so they are ready to go. - Lots of guests: provide disposable bowls and spoons for easy clean-up
- Small number of guests: it’s fun to provide fun, classy, or themed bowls and spoons to add a little flair to the dish
Serving Sundaes
- Set ice cream out to soften a few minutes before serving for easier scooping
- To reduce chaos, let guests form a buffet line to create their own sundaes, especially if you have a large number of guests.
- Place ice cream back in freezer after everyone is served to prevent melting, encouraging guests to help themselves to more (if you wish)
