Ice Cream Sundae

Mmmmm, I just finished a tasty Ice Cream Sundae. This all-American traditional dessert is one I rarely enjoy, but today was different. I had this strange craving for a refreshing Ice Cream Sundae; however, the problem was, I didn't have any ice cream! No problemo. Everyone knows the best chefs make do with what they have; they improvise. So, I combined a perfectly ripe banana with warm plum sauce, insead of the normal strawberry sauce since I had just made some fresh low-sugar plum jam from our home-grown plums. I added some chocolate chips and toffee chips, and topped it all off with Smucker's Hot Fudge sauce. My Ice Cream Sundae was oh so delicious. So, even when life does not give you ice cream, you can still make an Ice Cream Sundae.
