From Daryl aka Avery:
I was starving for a quickie afternoon snack and in desperate need of spoiling myself. Ever felt like that?
I scoured the refrigerator but nothing was whetting my appetite. I had banana bread on hand. Okay, great, I thought. With a cup of coffee. Fine. But it wasn't wowing me and I needed to be wowed, so then I thought, hmmm, what about a sundae. I have all the fixings.
So here's an idea, in case you need some inspiration to make a sundae of your own so you can spoil yourself.
What do you have on hand?
Get the prettiest sundae cup you can find.
Cut up cookies or whatever you like and let's get started.
First:
Whipped cream. Spritz some in your glass.
Now, cut up your bread or cookie and put it on the whipped cream.
Drizzle with your favorite syrup. I used Hershey's chocolate.
Spritz more whipped cream.
Now add a scoop of ice cream. Top with whipped cream. Drizzle with more syrup. Voila!
Here's the recipe for my banana bread, if you want to get started!
GLUTEN-FREE BANANA BREAD
Ingredients:
4 tablespoon oil
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg plus 2 egg whites
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 teaspoon Alcohol-free Vanilla

GIRL ON THE RUN is out!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Liz. So easy and delicious. ~ Daryl
DeleteWe make sundaes during the summer by sprinkling split bananas with cinnamon sugar. Then we throw them on the grill till they are hot and caramelizrd. Top with a brownie and chocolate fudge ice cream.
ReplyDeleteOh, yum! Sandy, can I come over? ~ Daryl
DeleteWow! This looks delicious! I'll have to give it a try :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan. What I love is that it was so easy. ~ Daryl
DeleteYou know they say necessity is the mother of invention!
ReplyDeleteThis is terrific.
How about toasting the bread? I used to love a toasted pound cake sundae ("used to" because I haven't had one in quite some time).
It's crazy when your mouth and brain have something in mind and you keep trying to make due with something else. It just doesn't work.
What a great idea, Libby. Toasting it or heating it. Thanks. ~ Daryl
DeleteMmmm.I think I would use this with crushed pineapple and grated coconut. Tada, Tropical Sundae.
