Why This Dish Is Worth Trying

This dessert is a fun twist on a classic sundae. The blue marshmallow topping adds a playful color and a sweet, fluffy texture that contrasts nicely with the creamy ice cream. It’s a treat that’s both visually appealing and delicious for all ages.

Directions

In a small bowl, mix the marshmallow creme with 1 to 2 tablespoons of hot water until it’s nice and smooth. Add a few drops of blue food coloring until you get the shade you want. Next, scoop the ice cream into a large bowl and give it a good stir with a wooden spoon to soften it up. Gently fold in the blue marshmallow mixture, swirling it through the ice cream. Cover the bowl and pop it in the freezer for at least 8 hours to set. When you’re ready to serve, scoop the ice cream into bowls or sundae glasses and top each one with fresh strawberries. Enjoy!

Best Ways To Serve

Serve with colorful sprinkles or crushed cookies on top for added crunch. A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce pairs well with the blue marshmallow and enhances the overall flavor. Consider offering fresh fruit on the side for a refreshing balance.

How To Store Leftovers

Store leftover marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them soft. Ice cream should be kept frozen until ready to serve. Any assembled sundaes are best eaten immediately, as the marshmallow topping can lose its texture if refrigerated.
