Everything But The Kitchen Sink Sundae

It's party time and this is a great

crowd pleaser 

A GINORMOUS

hot fudge brownie/chocolate chip/strawberry...sundae.

You remember my 

Pig's Trough Sundae

that we fed 50 with, well this is a huge, indoor

sundae that can feed 8-10, depending on how

hungry they are.

I was visiting in Texas and we had a birthday party

coming up.  I came up with this super-sized sundae

to celebrate Fred's big birthday.

We started with the largest shallow bowl my sister, Jean, had.

It was about 20-24 inches across.

We started with a ooey, gooey, layer of fudge and

topped it with 18, fresh, hot out of the oven chocolate

chip cookies.

Next, warm, oven-fresh brownies were layered on top.

Yes, we used the whole pan.

We layered on toasted pecans and fresh strawberries.

Oh, this is getting huge!

Three kinds of Blue Bell ice cream (we were in Texas,

so of course we had to use Blue Bell) were scooped

on top.

Finishing touches were, whipped cream, more strawberries and

toasted pecans, caramel sauce and more chocolate.

Then we handed out spoons and dug in.

For the germaphobes, you can offer a bowl

and let them scoop their portion out before

it disappears!

I probably shouldn't tell you this,

 but we had so much fun with this, 

and we had only used half of the ice cream,

so we made a second one while I was there.

Tons of fun for a party!!

This is one of those easy but memorable desserts

that you family will love.

(As I was working on my Dad's life story,

it reminded me of when Joni worked at

Bridgeman's Ice Cream Parlor and 

they had a giant sundae.

It was called the Lollapalooza Sundae.

This definitely is a Lollapalooza!)
