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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-fun-times) with upscale adult beverages.

The sundaes are made entirely from scratch beginning with the [homemade bourbon gingersnap ice cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tipsy-scoop-kraken-ship-wrecked) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cerealsly-delicious-series-by-salt-straw) made from cornflakes covered in a coating of maple syrup and contrasting pink flakey salt.
