My family loves homemade sundaes! I’m sharing our amazingly simple homemade sundaes recipe. Our favorite ice cream is so easy to make, and only uses 2 ingredients! We top it with a tart berry compote, which also only uses 2 ingredients! And then we add whatever toppings we want. Perfectly customizable and always delicious!

Homemade Sundaes

The ice cream combines two ingredients: heavy whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk. It comes together quickly with a hand mixer, freezes for a few hours, and then is ready to enjoy! The berry compote combines two ingredients: frozen berries and lemon juice. The tartness of the compote helps to balance the sweetness of the ice cream. We love to add granola to the top to add a salty crunch to the homemade sundaes!

Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 16oz heavy whipping cream

Directions

• Place a glass bowl into the freezer for 30 minutes, and then remove
• Pour the sweetened condensed milk and heavy whipping cream into the cold bowl
• Whip using a hand mixer until thick and at “soft peak” stage (if it doesn’t thicken to “soft peak” stage, don’t worry! Just allow some extra time in the freezer!)
• Place the glass bowl back into the freezer, and let it freeze for a few hours
• Scoop into a bowl and enjoy! Recipe makes 6-8  1/2 cup servings of ice cream

Berry Compote Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups frozen berries (mixed berries with strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries are our personal favorite!)
• Juice from 1/2 fresh lemon

Directions

• Put frozen berries and lemon juice in a sauce pan and bring to a boil
• Reduce temperature to low and then mash mixture with a hand masher
• Allow mixture to simmer for 5 minutes
• Pour mixture into a glass container (mixture will be extremely hot!)
• Place berry compote in the refrigerator to cool

Homemade Granola Recipe

This recipe is from our friends at Freshmade NYC! Mabel made this granola during one of her weekly quarantine cooking classes!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups raw old fashioned oats
• ¼ cup of your preferred butter/oil (melted butter, coconut oil, ghee, or avocado oil)
• ¼ cup of your preferred sweetener (honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, molasses, agave, or brown sugar)
• ½ teaspoon of your preferred baking spice (ground cinnamon, nutmeg, all-spice, apple pie spice, pumpkin pie spice, cardamom, or ginger)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup to 1 cup of your favorite mix-ins (nuts, seeds, dried fruits, banana chips, cranberries, raisins, dried coconut flakes, or chocolate chips)

Directions

• In a large bowl whisk together the oil/butter, sweetener, spices and salt.  Mix well.
• Add the oats and any raw nuts or seeds and mix well, coating all the pieces of the oats.
• Spread the oat mixture out onto a baking sheet.  Use a spatula to press it into the pan, creating a nice even layer.
• Bake for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• The granola is ready when it is lightly golden brown.  It will feel slightly wet but will dry as it cools.
• Let cool for about 5-10 minutes.
• Transfer the granola to a large bowl and add in any of your favorite mix-ins
• Store in an airtight container for 3-5 days.
• Use your granola on yogurt, ice cream, as a cereal, in a trail mix, etc.
