Ice Cream Sundae

Yes, that’s right… this happened. I take my ice cream very seriously, and when the summer time hits all that seems to be on my mind is ice cream, ice cream and more ice cream. It’s an issue. After buying a large amount of cherries and strawberries at the market the other day, I decided to put half aside and try whipping up my own sundae sauce to make our ice cream night even classier. As I was impatiently waiting for the sauce to cool down, I spotted some apricots in the kitchen and thought, “Hey, why not roast them with some honey and add them as my cherry on top?” My brain works in the strangest way sometimes, but no complaints since this turned out to be the most heavenly treat. This isn’t a child’s cheap, sugary sundae… it’s classy, gorgeous and better than anything you have ever tried. Grown up ice cream sundae is the only way to go.
