National Strawberry Sundae Day
Strawberries, ice cream, whip cream, and a cherry on top? Sounds like the perfect ingredients for a delicious way to cool down this summer. The sweet taste of fresh strawberries matched with the creamy texture of ice cream is a combination that no one will be able to refuse.
Strawberries are better with some ice cream flavors than others. On National Strawberry Sundae Day, avoid peanut butter cup and coffee ice creams, but don't be afraid to throw some strawberries on top of a few scoops of chocolate chip and rocky road! If you're feeling particularly adventurous, mix some nuts and sprinkles in, too.
Some desserts just taste better when you are outside on a hot, summer day. Strawberry sundaes are definitely one of these desserts. Bring your sundaes outside and eat them before they melt!
This favorite American dessert is certainly a reason to celebrate!
Today is also Chocolate Day
