An all-out sundae bar is one of our favorite ways to serve dessert in the summer. It’s celebratory, creates that “special occasion” feel, and is easy for everyone to customize to their liking. This summer, we’re stepping up the game with three homemade toppings that’ll have your guests licking their spoons. So lay out glassware, ice cream scoops, serving utensils, and bowls of your favorite toppings (including some of my go-to’s below) to create a no-fuss, always-pleasing epic sundae spread!
Build-Your-Own Sundae Bar
What You Need:

- Assorted ice creams (try to include 3 or 4 flavor options, including a dairy-free pint or two for any lactose-intolerant guests)

- Salted Whiskey Caramel
- Blueberry-Lavender Sauce
- Crunchy toppings, such as: chopped toasted nuts (a mix of pistachios, peanuts, almonds and pecans works great), sprinkles, chopped cookies or candy bars
