Maple Syrup Sundae

How irresistible does this maple syrup sundae look? What a perfect summer treat! Hot maple syrup is used to make layers with the fresh fruit and ice cream. This is a great recipe to make with the kids too as they can have fun piling up the layers of fruit and ice cream themselves, while you handle the hot syrup.
The finished sundae is an unbeatable summer special that will transport you back to childhood and memories of trips to the seaside.

Ingredients

30ml maple syrup
Several scoops of your favourite ice cream
50g fresh fruit of your choice (strawberries, raspberries, melon, peaches, pears, kiwis, bananas)

Method

- Pour 25ml maple syrup into a pan.
- Bring to a boil over a medium-high heat, keeping a close eye on it.
- Simmer until a drop of hot syrup crystallises in a glass of very cold water.
- It must still be soft enough to be elastic.
- In a sundae glass, layer the hot maple syrup, ice cream and fruit.

Tip:

Cooking is for fun so feel free to build with fruit and ice cream to your taste. Just make sure there are lashings of maple syrup!
