Hot Fudge Sundae Day
It’s hard to go wrong with ice cream—no matter what you do with it, it seems like it always results in something delicious. Ice cream sandwiches, ice cream cake, milkshakes, ice cream fondue…need we say more? And one of the few things that can make ice cream even better than it is thick, hot, sweet fudge. Fudge and ice cream…if that’s not a reason for celebration, what is?
Hot Fudge Sundae Day gives us all the perfect excuse to indulge in this delicious, sweet treat. It is all about celebrating the invention of this dessert, and what better way to celebrate than eating a sundae?
most don’t know that the-cherry-on-top expression comes from a sundae’s cherry, on top obviously
A sundae is simply an ice cream dessert that usually consists of one or more scoops of ice cream, which then has a syrup or sauce on top, with a number of other toppings added. This could be maraschino cherries, peanuts, marshmallows, whipped cream, or sprinkles. We also see a lot of dessert parlours adding chopped up chocolate bars to sundaes today, with everything from popping candy to candyfloss incorporated into the latest inventions.
Of course, a Hot Fudge Sundae needs to have two critical ingredients: hot fudge sauce and ice cream. After this, there are plenty of different adaptions of the treat. Some people add walnuts to their sundae, in order to give the dessert a good crunch.
In my films, all the great things are put together. It’s not like some kind of generic ice cream but rather a very big Sundae far far away. I personally see the humming of the light sabers as the gigantic federation cherry on top

You can also add fudge pieces or some chocolate drops. If you want to add some fruit into the mix, cherries are often teamed with hot fudge sundaes. Or, why not add some delicious and gooey chunks of brownie? The choice is yours! That’s what makes a sundae so great; it is all about putting your favorite ingredients into one big dessert glass and enjoying the magic it creates.
If you thought you were the biggest fan of sundaes, you may have to concede defeat when you read about some of these World Records! For example, the longest sundae was created in March of 2018. It measured more than 4,549 feet long! It was created in College Station at the Spirit of Texas festival.

The most expensive sundae can also be found in the United States. If you are willing to pay $25,000, you can enjoy the world’s most expensive sundae in New York City at Serendipity 3. The owner of Serendipity 3, Stephen Bruce, teamed up with Euphoria, a luxury jeweler, in order to create the Frozen Haute Chocolate sundae.
The sundae included 28 different cocoas, with 14 of the world’s most exotic and expensive cocoas. The dessert, which is spelled with two Rs, is served in a goblet that is lined with edible gold, and it is infused with five grams of edible 23-karat gold. It is then topped with whipped cream, which has more gold on the top. One the side, you will get a La Madeline au Truffle from Knipschildt Chocolatier. This sells for $2,600 per pound.
The Maraschino cherry on top of the Sundae was the embodiment of the ’60s. Like everything in that decade it was totally unprecedented, and the audience was unprecedentedly weeping silently in joy, confused why they’ve never wanted it before but happy. It was the inspiration for ‘The Sound of Silence’, which I still call the cherry on top of my personal musical history

Why we call sundaes, sundaes is not precisely known, though it is probably simply connected to the fact that ice cream with nuts, sprinkles, fruit, whipped cream and various syrups used to be a treat reserved only for the weekends.
Sundaes first appeared in the early 1900s, and with a few years there were already countless variations of it, such as the Robin Hood sundae, Cocoa Caramel sundae, Black Hawk sundae, Angel Cake sundae, Cherry Dip sundae, Cinnamon Peak sundae, Opera sundae, Fleur D’Orange sundae, Knickerbocker sundae, Tally-Ho Sundae, Bismarck and George Washington sundae, to name but a few.
It is said this is the very first photograph of a sundae, though back in the day it took a while for a camera to be setup so the sundae as you can see was already gone
American-style fudge was first made in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1886, and its popularity soon expanded.
These two delicious foodstuffs were first combined in 1906 at C.C. Browns, an ice cream parlour on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, and the hot fudge sundae was born. Today, even Google recognizes this holiday as an official holiday!
