Salted Caramel Pretzel Sundae

How to Make a Salted Caramel Pretzel Sundae

This is the sundae that disappears first. Creamy vanilla ice cream, a generous drizzle of salted caramel, crunchy crushed pretzels, and a pinch of flaky sea salt, sweet and salty in every spoonful. It starts with Hoosier Hill Farm Vanilla Ice Cream Mix, a real dairy soft serve made with cream and milk and no oil fillers, so the vanilla base tastes rich enough to stand up to all that caramel and crunch. Just add water and churn.

The whole thing comes together in minutes, and the pretzels are the secret: that salty crunch is what makes people go back for a second scoop.

Ingredients

Shop Vanilla Ice Cream Mix

Directions

  1. Blend. Whisk together the vanilla soft serve mix and cold water until smooth. Churn in an ice cream machine, or freeze and stir occasionally until creamy.
  2. Fill. Add vanilla soft serve to serving bowls or sundae glasses and drizzle generously with caramel sauce.
  3. Top. Add crushed pretzels and a pinch of flaky sea salt. Add a swirl of whipped cream if you like, and serve right away.

Tips

  • Crush pretzels fresh. Add them just before serving so they stay crunchy against the ice cream and caramel.
  • Warm the caramel. A few seconds in the microwave loosens jarred caramel so it drizzles and layers cleanly.
  • Layer it. For a parfait look like the photo, alternate soft serve, caramel, and pretzels in a tall glass instead of one bowl.
  • Balance the salt. Flaky sea salt on top is what makes it a salted caramel sundae. Start with a small pinch and add to taste.
  • No machine? No problem. Whisk the base, then freeze and stir every 30 minutes until creamy, about 3 to 4 hours. A Ninja Creami works too.

Make it your own

Vanilla is the perfect base, so this sundae takes any direction you want. Add a drizzle of hot fudge for a turtle sundae, swap the pretzels for crushed graham crackers, or add sliced banana for a caramel banana split. Turn it into a milkshake by blending a scoop with milk, the same way we do in our old-fashioned vanilla milkshake.
