- 2 tablespoons chopped Peanuts or Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Strawberry Topping or Fresh Sliced Strawberries
- 1 tablespoon Whipped Cream (freshly whipped preferred)

Instructions
- Prepare your components: Ensure the hot fudge sauce is warm but not boiling. Chop the nuts if necessary.
- Select a clear sundae glass or bowl.
- Place two scoops of vanilla ice cream into the base of your serving dish.
- Drizzle half of the warm hot fudge sauce evenly over the ice cream scoops.
- Add the remaining two scoops of ice cream on top of the first layer.
- Pour the remaining hot fudge sauce over the top layer of ice cream, allowing some to drip down the sides.

- Top generously with whipped cream.
- Place the maraschino cherry directly on top of the whipped cream peak. Serve immediately with a long spoon.
Notes

- To keep the sundae colder longer, chill your serving glass in the freezer for 15 minutes before assembling.
- Substitute the nuts with sprinkles or toasted coconut for different textures.
