Homemade ice cream sundaes 🍨

Tonight with the most delicious ice cream made just over the hill in Nelson by Appleby Farms Ice Cream 🍶🐄

If I could eat only one ice cream flavour for the rest of my life it would be vanilla and this one right here is full of flavour + super creamy and is perfect paired with homemade caramel sauce, toasted almonds & fresh banana 🍌🍦

For anyone that grew up in the 80’s and enjoyed a dinner out you may have fond memories of an ice cream sundae with either chocolate, caramel or strawberry sauce, perhaps some chopped peanuts, whipped cream + some wafer slices cut into triangles to adorn the top.
This combination is my simple take on a childhood favourite...as well as a traditional caramel sauce.

Ingredients

2Tbspn coconut oil
2 Tbspn pure maple syrup
2 Tbspn cashew butter
Dash vanilla

Method

Simply bring everything to a simmer, stirring in a pot until smooth.
Enjoy!

Ps. There's something so delectable about hot caramel sauce being drizzled over creamy cold ice cream!

Ice Cream Sandwich

I chose chocolate chip cookies because they remind me of my Nana. I don't know what her special ingredient is, but her ones always taste the nicest. She made some for me, back when I first had Zahara in winter 2015, so they'll always have a sentimental spot in my list of favourite sometimes foods. ⠀

I like this recipe because it's simple, but also because it contains no eggs and I can let Z lick the spoon like a real Mum Hero. ⠀

Ingredients

125g Butter⠀
1/4 cup sugar ⠀
3T condensed Milk ⠀
1 cup flour ⠀
1 t baking powder ⠀
Few drops of vanilla essence ⠀
1/2 cup (or the whole packet) of chocolate chips ⠀

Method

*turn oven on to 180°C and set aside a lined oven tray ⠀
*Use a beater to cream the butter and sugar ⠀
*Add the condensed milk and vanilla essence and mix until creamy ⠀
*add the dry ingredients and chocolate chips and fold until well mixed. ⠀
*roll into ping pong sized balls and space evenly on the tray. ⠀
* semi flatten balls with a fork ⠀
*bake for 10-12 mins or until golden brown. ⠀
Slightly undercook for a more doughy texture. ⠀

Once cooked, allow to cool on a rack. Then sandwich them with your favourite Appleby Farms ice cream. Add some sprinkles if you're feeling fancy 🤤⠀
