Belgian waffles have larger squares and deeper pockets than American waffles. I make mine with nutrition boosters like whole wheat, flaxseed, cranberries and toasted walnuts. -Laura McDowell, Portland, Maine

Categories     Dessert     Quick & Easy     Frozen Dessert     Cranberry     Walnut     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 cups pure maple syrup
1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
1/3 cup walnuts, toasted lightly and chopped
1 pint super-premium vanilla or coffee ice cream

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, simmer maple syrup 5 minutes and stir in cranberries and walnuts. Remove pan from heat and let sauce cool. Scoop ice cream into 4 sundae dishes and spoon sauce over it.

Tips:

  • For the perfect balance of flavors, use a tart cranberry sauce and a sweet maple syrup. You can make your own cranberry sauce or use a store-bought brand.
  • Toast the walnuts in the oven before adding them to the sundaes. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • If you don't have any vanilla ice cream, you can use another flavor, such as chocolate or coffee. Just make sure that it pairs well with the other ingredients.
  • Get creative with your toppings! You can add whipped cream, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even fresh fruit. Just be sure to use toppings that you think will taste good together.
  • Serve the sundaes immediately after assembling them. This will prevent the ice cream from melting and the toppings from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

New England Cranberry Maple Walnut Sundaes are the perfect way to enjoy the flavors of fall. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive dessert, give these sundaes a try!
