Emperor Nortons Ice Cream Sundae Recipes

EASY ICE CREAM SUNDAE DESSERT

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, melt chocolate chips with milk and salt; cook and stir until thickened, about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat; set aside. Combine wafer crumbs and butter; set aside 1 cup. Press remaining crumbs into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. pan. Chill for 10-15 minutes. Pour chocolate over crumbs. Cover and freeze for 10-15 minutes or until firm. Spread the ice cream over chocolate. Sprinkle with reserved crumbs. Freeze at least 2 hours before serving.

MY DAD'S ICE CREAM SUNDAE (CIRCA 1950'S)

Steps:

• Do I really need to tell you how to do this.
• Scoop ice cream in dish.
• Add Strawberry Jam on top of Ice Cream.
• Drizzle syrup in a fiure 8 on top.
• Grab a glass of milk, sit down and enjoy!
• Any and all substitutions accepted if they have sugar in them!

TEX-MEX ICE CREAM SUNDAES

Steps:

• In a heavy skillet, pour oil to the depth of 1/2-inch.
• Heat oil over medium heat.
• When oil is hot, fry tortillas, one at a time, for about 30-40 seconds on each side. (Press down tortilla with a fork, if it starts to puff up while frying).
• Drain fried tortillas on paper towels.
• In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon.
• Sprinkle each fried tortilla with the cinnamon sugar mixture while they are still warm.
• Set fried tortillas aside to cool.
• When you are ready to serve, place a generous scoop of cinnamon ice cream on top of each tortilla.
• Drizzle each tortilla and ice cream with chocolate syrup.
• Place one cherry on top of each scoop of ice cream.
• Serve immediately.
• ~NOTE~ The tortillas can be fried up ahead of time and stored in an air tight container.
• ~NOTE~ If you can't find cinnamon ice cream at your store, you can either make it homemade or use vanilla instead. My family likes BlueBell's "bunuelos" flavored ice cream for these sundaes.

VOLCANO ICE CREAM SUNDAE

Steps:

• Run a knife around the edge to get the ice cream out in one piece. You may have to dip the container in hot water.
• Place ice cream upside down on a platter.
• Cut sharp edges from the top and sides to slope the ice cream in the shape of a mountain.
• Pour shell over the top. Let harden and then add hot fudge (this will run off the mountain and give the lava flow effect to around the bottom of the volcano).
• In a little bowl, take 3 or 4 sugar cubes and pour lemon extract over the cubes.
• Open 3 or 4 cherries and stick one of those sugar cubes in each one.
• Put the sugar cube/cherry in the center on the top of chocolate covered "volcano".
• Light sugar cubes with a match to set fire.
• Voila!
