I wanted to share this recipe with all of you because this is one simple, but fancy looking dessert.

Our Washington state summer has been one of the hottest summers I remember, just nonstop heat with no breaks. Ice cream has been on our list of favorites, all summer long. We always had a stock of all sorts of ice creams at home. When we hosted, we had fancy ice cream, like this recipe.

Sundae in a wine glass

I love the combination of things in this recipe. All the fresh fruits make it refreshing and pretzels add that perfect crunch. I was pretty impressed by the blueberry whipped cream, I may use it on a next cake recipe.
