Strawberry Sundae with Homemade Berry Sauce
Description
This sundae recipe starts by simmering strawberries with granulated sugar and water until a syrupy compote forms with broken-down berries. Meanwhile, heavy cream, blueberries, and powdered sugar are whipped until soft peaks develop, providing a light, fruity topping.
Assembly involves spooning the warm strawberry compote into a dish, layering with vanilla ice cream, and adding a generous dollop of the blueberry whipped cream. The finishing touch of crushed pretzels offers a crunchy, salty counterpoint to the sweetness and creaminess.
This dessert highlights the contrast between warm and cold elements and integrates the natural sweetness and slight tartness of two types of berries. It’s an indulgent treat that combines fresh fruit components with creamy textures and a crisp salty garnish.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp water
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 2 tbsp pretzels crushed
Instructions
- In saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, and strawberries. Simmer on medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes, or until the liquid gets syrupy and the strawberries begin to breakdown.
- Using a stand mixer, whip the heavy whipping cream, blueberries, and powdered sugar until soft peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
- To assemble the sundaes, spoon the warm strawberry compote into the bottom of the bowl or glass. Top with 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream.
- Add a dollop of the blueberry whipped cream and sprinkle on the crushed pretzels. Serve immediately and enjoy!
