Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 moon pies
- 4 scoops ice cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 moon pies, 4 scoops of your favorite ice cream, 1/2 cup of chocolate syrup, and 1/4 cup of mini marshmallows.
- Choose a serving dish or bowl for your Ice Cream Sundae Moon Pie. You can use individual bowls or a larger dish to serve all at once.
- Place one moon pie in the center of each dish. If you prefer a slightly softer texture, you can microwave each moon pie for about 5-10 seconds to warm them slightly, but this step is optional.
- Using an ice cream scoop, place a generous scoop of ice cream on top of each moon pie. Choose your favorite flavor, such as vanilla, chocolate, or cookies and cream.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup over each scoop of ice cream, allowing it to cascade down the sides of the moon pie for a delicious presentation.
- Sprinkle mini marshmallows over the top of the ice cream and chocolate syrup. Be generous for an extra sweet touch!
- If desired, you can add additional toppings such as crushed nuts, whipped cream, or cherries to enhance your sundae.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful Ice Cream Sundae Moon Pie with friends or family!
Tips
- Temperature Matters: For the best texture, slightly warm your moon pies for 5-10 seconds in the microwave, but be careful not to overheat.
- Ice Cream Selection: Choose high-quality ice cream with a creamy texture. Experiment with different flavors like vanilla, chocolate, or cookies and cream to find your perfect combination.
- Presentation is Key: Use clear glass dishes to showcase the beautiful layers of your sundae.
- Chocolate Syrup Technique: Drizzle the chocolate syrup slowly and at an angle to create an elegant cascading effect.
- Marshmallow Pro Tip: For extra flair, lightly toast the mini marshmallows with a kitchen torch for a golden, slightly caramelized finish.
- Make It Your Own: Don't be afraid to add personal touches like crushed nuts, whipped cream, or a cherry on top.
- Serve Immediately: This dessert is best enjoyed right after preparation to maintain the perfect temperature and texture.
