Ingredients

For the Ice Cream

1 quart Chocolate Ice Cream Feel free to experiment with other flavors like vanilla.
1 cup Whipped Cream Homemade stabilizes better than store-bought options.

For the Toppings

1 cup Chopped Nuts Any nut variety works or can be left out.
1 cup Chocolate Wafers Substitute with any favorite cookie.

For the Fudge Sauce

1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate (45% cocoa solids) Use darker chocolate for a richer taste.
1 cup Thickened Cream (Heavy Cream) Heavy whipping cream serves as an alternative.
1/4 cup Cocoa Powder Opt for natural cocoa for deeper flavor.
1/3 cup Golden Syrup Light corn syrup works well too.
1/2 cup Brown Sugar Substitute with white or dark brown sugar.
1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence Using real vanilla extract enhances the profile.
2 tablespoons Salted Butter Margarine is a suitable substitute if preferred.

Fudge Sauce Preparation

In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of chopped semi-sweet chocolate and 1 cup of thickened cream over low heat, stirring continuously for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Sift in 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and pour in 1/3 cup of golden syrup. Stir vigorously for about 2 minutes until glossy.
Mix in 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence, and 2 tablespoons of salted butter. Stir on low heat for 5–10 minutes until thickened.
Remove from heat and let cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to a heatproof container.

Sundae Assembly

Swirl some of the cooled fudge sauce in the bottom of sundae glasses.
Scoop generous servings of rich chocolate ice cream into each glass.
Top each sundae with a dollop of freshly whipped cream, drizzle more fudge sauce, and sprinkle with chopped nuts and crispy chocolate wafers.
