Hot Fudge Sundae - History of the Ice Cream Dish


The Hot Fudge Sundae may just be America's favorite dessert. This most popular subset of the generic Ice Cream Sundae features Ice Cream - usually, but not necessarily, vanilla - topped with hot fudge sauce, nuts, whipped cream, and a maraschino cherry. It seems that just about every city in America lays claim to have been the original home of the Ice Cream Sundae, with Ithaca, New York probably having the strongest arguement, with 1892 being the year of its invention. The word Sundae is most likely a fanciful spelling of Sunday.
