Sundaes Best

When you're short on time, you can easily add some frosty fun to dinnertime by serving up a variety of toppings and sauces and letting family members concoct their own scrumptious sundaes. Or scoop up one of these sweet and simple suggestions and treat your family to a refreshing dessert:

Drizzle chocolate sauce over a scoop of strawberry ice cream and top with sliced berries and kiwi. Dollop with whipped cream.
Instead of the usual chocolate sauce, top vanilla ice cream with warmed orange marmalade and a few fresh berries.
For a super chocolaty treat, place a scoop of chocolate or chocolate mint ice cream on a brownie and pour on the hot fudge sauce. Add a spoonful of whipped cream, sprinkle with peanuts and accent with a maraschino cherry or a chocolate kiss.
Like s'mores? You'll love this! Dress up a scoop of ice cream with chocolate sauce, mini marshmallows, whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs.
Give a tropical-flavored ice cream added appeal with canned mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks. Serve with gingersnaps.

The lemon was a nice touch, but the canned tart cherries still tasted like a can of cherries to me. I was hoping that the add'l ingredients would really give it something special. It just didn't go over that well with my family.

I didn't actually make this, but will...I just wanted to add a little tidbit. There was a recipe in the 1961 First Edition of Betty Crocker that was for a Red Cherry-Banana Pie that I fixed every year for hubby's birthday (at his request) that was so similar to this recipe, but with an addition of 1/2 tsp cinnamon. It could add a little something extra to this one. The pie was made in a pre-baked crust with a layer of bananas on the bottom, the cherry sauce spread over them, and served with whipped topping.
