Indulge in the sweet delight of a classic caramel sundae, featuring creamy vanilla ice cream generously drizzled with rich, buttery caramel sauce and often topped with whipped cream and a cherry. This frozen treat is best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture and flavor.

Storage Time

Best consumed immediately; leftovers will lose quality rapidly. If unavoidable, store in the freezer for up to 1-2 days, though texture will degrade.

Temperature

Store frozen at -18°C (0°F) or below.

Freezing

While a caramel sundae is designed to be eaten frozen, refreezing after thawing is not recommended as it significantly impacts the creamy texture of the ice cream, leading to iciness and a less appealing mouthfeel. If you must freeze leftovers, ensure they are tightly sealed in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn. Thaw briefly in the refrigerator for a few minutes before consuming, but be aware that the quality will be diminished.

Signs of Spoilage

• Ice crystals forming on the surface of the ice cream, indicating refreezing or freezer burn.
• A sour or off smell emanating from the dessert.
• A watery or mushy texture, especially after thawing.
