Gingersnap Ice-Cream Sundaes with Rum Syrup image

This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons dark rum
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon sugar
six 2-inch gingersnap cookies
about 1/2 pint vanilla ice cream

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality gingerbread. This will make all the difference in the flavor of your sundaes.
  • Make your own gingerbread cookies or buy them from a reputable bakery. Avoid using pre-packaged gingerbread mix, as it often contains artificial flavors and preservatives.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ice cream flavors. Classic vanilla or chocolate ice cream is always a good choice, but you can also try more unique flavors like gingerbread, eggnog, or peppermint.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and chopped nuts are all classic sundae toppings, but you can also get creative and try other things like crumbled gingerbread cookies, candy canes, or even fresh fruit.
  • Serve your sundaes immediately. Gingerbread sundaes are best enjoyed fresh, so don't let them sit around for too long before eating them.
