Here’s some food fun for National Ice Cream Month:
Use olive oil or whiskey as the “sauce” on your sundae.
It’s a sophisticated sundae that can also be made with sorbet.
Use your finest olive oil. While some people will prefer the mildest oil, we also like fruity or peppery olive oil flavors.
Prefer to use whiskey? You can use a blended scotch, single malt, or Irish whiskey. We personally like a robust peaty scotch with vanilla ice cream, and a blend on the sorbet.
We use plain vanilla ice cream or lemon sorbet, but you can experiment with other flavors.
Some of the olive oil or whiskey will combine with the melted ice cream/sorbet on the bottom of the dish, creating a sauce.
You can also use balsamic glaze.
