Ingredients
Scale
Batter for Butterscotch Waffle Cone Sails
- 2 egg whites
- 7 tablespoons sugar
- 2/3 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
Sundae Components
- Strawberry ice cream
- Chocolate ice cream
- Butterscotch ice cream
- 1 banana (split lengthwise)
- Whipped cream
- Strawberry sauce
- Chocolate sauce
- Butterscotch sauce
- Small round cookies (for portholes)
- 3 cherries
Instructions
- Whip Egg Whites and Sugar: Whip the egg whites and sugar together until frothy, creating a light and airy base for the batter.
- Incorporate Butter: Stir the melted butter into the whipped egg whites and sugar mixture until it is smooth and evenly combined.
- Add Flour: Fold in the flour and mix until a thick, fluffy batter forms, suitable for pouring onto a waffle iron.
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat a waffle cone iron or waffle maker on a medium-low setting to prevent burning, following your specific iron’s instructions.
- Cook Batter: Spoon a small amount of the batter into the hot waffle iron and cook until lightly golden and flat. Immediately lift the waffle sheet out, cut it into quarters and insert sticks into each piece while still warm to form the sails.
- Cool Waffle Sails: Allow the waffle sails to cool and crisp fully so they hold their shape as a garnish.
- Prepare Banana Base: Split the banana lengthwise and lay the halves into a serving dish to serve as the base of the sundae.
- Add Ice Cream: Place scoops of strawberry, chocolate, and butterscotch ice cream over the banana halves, distributing evenly.
- Top with Whipped Cream and Sauces: Add whipped cream on top of the ice cream scoops. Drizzle strawberry, chocolate, and butterscotch sauces over the sundae for flavor and color contrast.
- Decorate: Press small round cookies into the ice cream to resemble portholes on the ship. Place three cherries on top for a finishing touch.
- Finish with Waffle Cone Sails: Insert the cooled waffle cone sails into the sundae to resemble the sails of the USS Butterscotch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure the waffle iron is not too hot to avoid burning the thin wafer sails.
- The waffles are best cut and shaped immediately after cooking while still warm and pliable.
- You can substitute the ice cream flavors with your favorites but keep the variety for the classic banana split experience.
- Use fresh cherries for the best flavor and look.
- Make the waffle sails ahead of time and store in an airtight container to maintain crispness if needed.
