Birthday Cake Sundaes
So this isn’t so much a recipe since the only thing we’re actually making is a fudge sauce to on top of our sundaes. It’s a white chocolate funfetti fudge sauce and it’s quite addictive. It’s like the dark chocolate shell you put on top of ice cream, but a white chocolate sprinkled version instead.
This is one of those recipes that you can’t really make ahead of time, but honestly it’s one of those recipes that isn’t really a recipe so it’s all good. I guess if you want to plan ahead of time, you can scoop out the ice cream onto a baking sheet with parchment paper and place in the freezer and make the whipped cream and keep it in the fridge. Then just make the fudge right before assembling and serving!
Birthday Cake Sundaes
Whether you're celebrating a birthday or wanting a delicious summer treat, Birthday Cake Sundaes are a must with homemade funfetti fudge!
Servings: 6
Equipment
- Saucepan
Ingredients
- 8 ounces white chocolate chopped
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon imitation vanilla extract optional
- 1 tablespoon rainbow sprinkles chopped
- 3 semi-ripe bananas
- 1.75 qt Vanilla or Birthday Cake flavored ice cream
- 3 ounces soft lady fingers or sponge cake chopped
- 1 cup fresh whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons multi-colored sprinkles for topping
- 1/4 cup maraschino cherries optional
Instructions
- Place the chopped chocolate and coconut oil in a bowl and set over a medium pot of barely-simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Cook, stirring often, until the chocolate has melted and is completely smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Stir in the vanilla and imitation vanilla (if using). Once the chocolate has cooled down, gently stir in the sprinkles just until combined. You don’t want to over mix or else the colors will bleed into the chocolate!
- To assemble the sundaes, peel the bananas crosswise and then slice each half lengthwise. Place two pieces of banana in six bowls. Top each with two scoops of ice cream and with some of the chopped lady fingers. Spoon some of the funfetti fudge over the top and dollop with whipped cream and sprinkles and cherries (if using). Serve immediately and enjoy!
