What You Need for a Successful Ice Cream Sundae Party

Are you planning an exciting ice cream party soon? Although the ice cream itself is obviously the star of the party, it is not the only piece that will complete the get-together. If you want a truly unforgettable day, you have to make it the perfect party as much as possible. That means remembering all the essential things affecting the event. 

Before you go and hire an ice cream on wheels, you should have the following checked and included first:

Creative and Colorful Invitation

What is a party without guests? Make sure that you invite all your dearest friends and family members to your ice cream party. Instead of simply sending a text message or giving them a call, why not make it a bit ‘extra’ by giving out thematic invitations?

Why not try out a cute cut-out of colorful ice cream in a cone with a ‘You’re invited’ message. Add colorful sprinkles on top to match the event’s theme and it would be a perfect way to make them excited for your party.

Prepare the Hot Fudge

Nothing can beat an ice cream cone, but only a sundae party with hot fudge would make people eat more ice cream than they should. This easy chocolate sauce would help you create your ‘hot fudge’ for the party. It only takes two ingredients and thirty seconds to make, but it will give you the perfect topping to serve ice cream and other sweet treats at your party. 

Grab some chocolate chips (1/4 cup) and heavy milk(2 tablespoons) or cream. Put them inside a small microwave-safe bowl and run them for 30 seconds. Once done, remove it from the microwave and allow it to simmer a bit. Stir the chocolate until it melts completely and you have your hot fudge! It is a perfect chocolate topping for your plain or even flavored ice cream.

Create Your Delicious Homemade Caramel

If you want to provide an alternative to your hot fudge, a caramel topping will always be a good choice. It is the best drizzle to add to any ice cream cup. This recipe is more detailed than the hot fudge, but you can do it fast and simply. 

  1. Get a saucepan and place it over medium heat.

  2. Place one cup of sugar inside. Avoid stirring so much. Allow the sugar to heat evenly.

  3. Do that for around 15 minutes. At first, it will clump, but stirring it a bit will help. Wait until it is fully liquid with no more clumps of sugar. 

  4. Take it out of the heat.

  5. Add six tablespoons of unsalted butter and stir to combine. Expect it to bubble but no need for you to panic. 

  6. Pour in ½ cup of cream and ½ to one teaspoon sea salt. Stir until completely dissolved. 

That is it! Let it cool for a few minutes, and you have your caramel topping ready!

Present Your Various Selection of Colorful Toppings

Customization allows people to feel that they are in control, and it is a fun activity to have inside a party. Let your guests create their unforgettable ice cream of choice, but make sure they have various topping options to choose from. 

If you want to make your ice cream extra colorful for your guests, the classic sprinkles will not disappoint. Add them to your collection of colorful toppings and they will bring character to your chosen ice cream, making sure every person’s sweet treat is extra tasty. 

Imagine seeing loads of colorful options to choose from! The more colorful they are, the more mouthwatering they can get. Place them inside transparent mason jar glasses so your guests can easily see their choices. 

Conclusion

With all these ready, you can finally create a successful ice cream party to remember! However, make sure that you only get the best ice cream, or your guests will not enjoy it. It will indeed be a memorable experience, especially for the kids.
