Make Your Own Ice Cream Sundae Bar

By Heather Williams August 21, 2018

This past weekend we attended a weekend-long family reunion and one of my cousins made an amazing ice cream sundae bar for kiddos of all ages! As you can see from some of my pictures, this was a hit with everyone from the youngest of kids to aunts, uncles and great grandpa too! 

My favorite part, she made it allergen friendly*... like me, she also has kids with food allergies. This sundae bar was safe for kids with peanut, tree nut and dairy allergies and was easy enough to also choose only gluten free topping too. Just to be extra cautious, we let anyone with allergies through the line before everyone else was served to reduce the chances of cross contamination from using the same spoon/scoop in two different toppings or accidentals spills from one container to another.

Here are some examples of what was included in this Make Your Own Ice Cream Sundae Bar:

Ice cream
Coconut based ice cream
Soy based ice cream

Colored sprinkles
Chocolate jimmies
Sour Patch Kids
Chocolate chips
Mini marshmallows
Cocoa Pebbles
Fruity Pebbles
Mini Oreos
Gummy bears

Fresh blueberries
Diced fresh strawberries
Cherries

Caramel sauce
Butterscotch sauce
Chocolate sauce

Whipped cream
Coconut based whipped cream

Ice cream cones

*With all food allergies, be sure to double and triple check all ingredients and always go with your gut;  if you feel something is not safe - refrain from eating it.
