You have eaten well all week: avoided sugar, drunk sludgy odd-coloured smoothies for breakfast, lunched on salads and even cut back on the booze; but it’s Sunday night and you are just hankering for something sweet. There’s a packet of Tim Tams in the cupboard, but you know that if you open it you will probably eat the whole thing and still not be satisfied. You want decadence dammit!

This recipe is for you. Calling it a recipe is a bit hyperbolic. I guess this is more foodspiration but I’m popping it here because when I first posted images of my creations to Instagram people went wild. So introducing…

Super Satisfaction Ice Cream Sundae

So named because, if you get the proportions right, at the end of this sundae you will feel mildy ill totally satisfied. That sweet sweet itch will have been scratched. Well and truly.

You will need:

A large tumbler

A long spoon

Vanilla Ice Cream, or you can use flavoured but vanilla is a safeguard against flavour clashes

One topping or syrup, for example:

Caramel Top and Fill

Maple syrup

Nutella or peanut butter (warmed slightly in the microwave to drizzling consistency)

Berries blitzed in a blender with a touch of sweetener

Or, if you’ve planned ahead use a purpose-built ice cream topping.

A handful of crunchy/chewy bits, make sure you have two different ones. For example:

Chopped up Tim Tams

Chopped, roasted nuts

Leftover assorted chocolates (because you have already eaten all your faves)

Berries or fruit- OK, not crunchy and a little healthy for a Satisfaction Sundae but a little burst of freshness is nice.

Chopped up lollies

Chopped up turkish delight

Leftover cake crumbs

….. you get the picture.

Now to layer.

Alternate topping and crunchy bits with ice cream. I like to use different crunchy bits in different layers. Finish with a mound of ice cream, a drizzle of topping and a scatter of crunchy bit crumbs.

Voila

  1. This has given me good pause for thought.
    A good vanilla bean icecream would need very little, but tim-tammy bits would be nice. Probably the plainer dark choc ones.

  2. Yes, I have been good all week. I deserve this! Man does this look good. I’m a big ice cream fan and especially love vanilla bean with a little caramel topping (or a lot!). Ice cream gives me a bit of a stomach ache, but it’s always worth it 🙂

  3. That looks epic! Mine would definitely have some jelly snakes and crushed up caramello koalas and everything else I could lay my hands on. So much nom!

    • Oh Deb! A Tim Tam is an iconically Aussie biscuit- two rectangular malty biscuits/cookies, cream filling in the middle and then coated in chocolate 🙂
      Your version sounds amazing.

  4. Holy bajeebeeez!!! This is the best thing I’ve seen all day. How good is the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie… best place on earth! I think one of these is in order this weekend. Happy Fabulous Foodie Fridays! xx

  5. Oh my! That is pure gluttony and I love it! I often mix myself some icecream with chocolate sauce, sour cherry syrup, kirsch, and coconut. I call it blackforest sundae!

I love to hear from you...
