(By Gagan Anand)
There's something so nostalgic and delightful about a good old-fashioned sundae — and especially when it's filled with the bold tastes of out-of-season fruits and cold, creamy ice cream. Enter the Fruits Cocktail Sundae, an absolutely mouthwatering dessert that beautifully combines the cool zing of blended fruits with the decadent indulgence of your favourite ice cream. Whether you’re looking for a quick summer treat, a fun dessert to serve after a family dinner, or just an easy way to use up that fruit cocktail tin in the pantry, this recipe ticks all the boxes.
The elegance of this sundae is in its simplicity and versatility. You can fall back on the convenience of canned fruit cocktail or opt for fresh seasonal fruits chopped if you prefer a lighter, more textured dessert. The union of rich fruits, silky scoops of vanilla or fruit-flavoured ice cream, a liberal dollop of whipped cream, and a caramel drizzle option results in a dessert that is at once celebratory and comforting.
What truly elevates this sundae is the layering — with each bite, a combination of flavours and textures, from cold and creamy to juicy and crunchy. Placing chopped nuts and bright red cherries at the end not only provides colour but also awakens the best in the sundae, introducing a bit of crunch and a splash of sweetness.
Ideal for both children and adults, the sundae is more than a treat – it's an experience. It's a cinch to whip up in minutes, doesn't involve cooking, and leaves plenty of leeway for creativity. Regardless of whether you use the traditional recipe or put your own spin on things with flavoured syrups, additional toppings, or even adding a splash of liqueur to make an adult version, the Fruits Cocktail Sundae remains a sure crowd-pleaser that never loses its appeal.
