Boozy Gingersnap Sundaes

This Rich Frozen Treat Features Bourbon Ice Cream, Cornflakes and Fudge

These homemade sundaes are ideal for adults thanks to the addition of bourbon liqueur to create a homemade gingersnap ice cream that is topped with maple fudge and maple-glazed corn flakes. This is a decadent frozen treat that mixes nostalgic flavors from one's childhood with upscale adult beverages.

The sundaes are made entirely from scratch beginning with the homemade bourbon gingersnap ice cream made from crumbled gingersnap cookies, cream, sugar, milk, eggs and bourbon. The ice cream is then topped with a caffeinated hot sauce made from chocolate, maple syrup, instant coffee, cocoa and whipping cream. The finale addition is a garnish of maple-glazed cornflakes made from cornflakes covered in a coating of maple syrup and contrasting pink flakey salt.
