Top Ten Foods to Pair with Your Ice Cream Sundae

Much like the way coffee is better with donuts, ice cream sundaes are better when paired with something yummy. Whether it's sweet or salty, your ice cream shop can benefit greatly from adding some food items! Here are the top ten foods to pair with your ice cream sundae.

1. Waffles

Who doesn't love a decked-out waffle? Waffles are perfect for ice cream sundaes. You can make a waffle sundae as you would a regular ice cream sundae, but use a waffle on a plate instead of in an ice cream sundae cup. Try it with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge!

                             2. French Fries

The salty crunch of a french fry is the perfect complement to ice cream sundaes. They balance the sweetness of your ice cream and bring it all together.

Try it with chocolate ice cream and crushed Snickers!

3. Donuts

                                                        4. Graham Crackers

Graham crackers are sweet and crunchy, perfect for ice cream! You can make a s'mores ice cream sundae. Your customers are sure to love it.Try it with chocolate ice cream and marshmallow cream!

Everybody loves a brownie ice cream sundae! A warm and gooey brownie and a scoop of ice cream: there's nothing better.

Fried chicken may not sound like a friend to ice cream but it is! Think of chicken and waffles. The sweet and savory are perfectly matched to create the greatest ice cream sundae.
