Ingredients:

For the Whipped Chocolate Hemp Seed Ice Cream:

  • 1 pint Vanilla Hemp Seed Ice Cream (suisocream)
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or agave nectar, adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

For the Sundae Toppings:

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup crushed cookies (such as vegan chocolate cookies or graham crackers)
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (store-bought or homemade)
  • Whipped coconut cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • Hemp seeds (for garnish, optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Whipped Chocolate Hemp Seed Ice Cream:
    • Soften the ice cream: Let the pint of vanilla hemp seed ice cream sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften slightly. This will make it easier to whip.
    • Blend the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened hemp seed ice cream, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
    • Whip the mixture: Using an electric mixer or a whisk, whip the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps and the cocoa powder is fully incorporated. Adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Toppings:
    • Slice the strawberries: Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, then slice them into quarters or halves, depending on your preference.
    • Crush the cookies: Place your cookies in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin or your hands to crush them into small pieces.
  3. Assemble the Sundae:
    • Layer the whipped ice cream: In a serving glass or bowl, start by adding a generous scoop of the whipped chocolate hemp seed ice cream.
    • Add the strawberries: Next, layer on some of the sliced strawberries, distributing them evenly over the ice cream.
    • Sprinkle crushed cookies: Add a layer of the crushed cookies over the strawberries for a delightful crunch.
    • Drizzle with chocolate syrup: Pour a tablespoon or two of chocolate syrup over the top to enhance the chocolate flavor.
    • Repeat the layers: If desired, you can add another layer of ice cream, strawberries, crushed cookies, and chocolate syrup for a double-decker sundae.
  4. Garnish and Serve:
    • Top with whipped cream (optional): For extra indulgence, add a dollop of whipped coconut cream on top of your sundae.
    • Add a sprinkle of hemp seeds: For added nutrition and a nice crunch, sprinkle some hemp seeds over the top.
    • Garnish with mint: Add a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
