The basic “sundae’ is a dish of ice cream coated in sauces or syrups and topped with fruits, nuts, or other creative toppings. The original sundae consisted of vanilla ice cream then topped with strawberry-flavored sauce, whipped cream, and a maraschino cherry.
The Hot Fudge Sundae was created in 1906 at C.C. Browns, a new ice cream parlor on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. “Sundae” apparently resulted when druggist Chester Platt in 1892 attempted to trademark “Sunday” for his cherry syrup and ice cream concoction. July 25th is National Hot Fudge Sundae Day.
Several American localities have claimed to be the birthplace of the original ice cream sundae. These include Wisconsin, Illinois, New York, Louisiana, and Ohio. Each one has their own story of how they accidentally concocted the great dessert from the usual ice cream accompanied by soda.
