Are you looking for a unique family friendly party idea? How about throwing an Ice Cream Sundae Party? It doesn’t have to be only for the kids.
To try and taste as many different combinations of ice cream, dessert sauces and toppings as possible before you end up with a stomach ache!
What are you going to need? Ice Cream of course! What kinds should you buy? How much? Below are some tips on hosting your Ice Cream Sundae Party.
Favorite Ice Cream Flavors
Plain Chocolate- something rich and creamy and milk chocolate
Maple Nut- a classic ice cream flavor
Strawberry- Tastes wonderful with a blueberry or raspberry sauce on top.
Pick your favorite flavors. Just about anything goes. Please buy good ice cream if you can. Try to stay away from too many artificial flavorings in the ice cream. It detracts from the great flavors of the dessert sauces and toppings. You don’t have to necessarily buy top shelf gourmet stuff, but stay away from the really cheap ice creams as well. You may also substitute a variety of frozen yogurts or sorbets for the regular ice cream flavors.
How much? Well, the serving size on most containers of ice cream is ½ cup. Most people will eat somewhat more than that, so take a look at whom you are inviting and if you know if someone is a big eater. Also, is this the only thing you are serving? Decide if you will have other types desserts too.
What time of day will you have the party? If this were held in place of a regular meal, your guests will eat more ice cream. I would recommend 2 to 2 ½ servings per person, so that equates to 1 to 1 ½ cups of ice cream per person. If you are serving other desserts, decrease serving portions to 2 servings per person.
If you are doing a children’s Ice Cream Sundae Party, you may want to limit the serving sizes accordingly. If you allow a bit too much sugar intake, you may have an uncontrollable mob on your hands in short order. Remember to take into consideration a child’s weight in comparison to a full grown adult. Keep the serving sizes in check and they will have plenty of fun just helping to add toppings to their creations.
