Ube Sundae
Scoops of intense purple, a cascading sauce, a cloud of whipped cream and crunchy shards: the ube sundae is a festive dessert to assemble in the blink of an eye.
All the indulgence, with no cooking.
The party sundae
The sundae is an art of assembly: you stack, you drizzle, you decorate.
Around the ube ice cream, anything goes: red berry sauce for acidity, whipped cream for softness, nut or speculoos shards for the crunch. A spectacular dessert built to order, in a few minutes.
The purple of ube contrasts beautifully with a red sauce or white whipped cream: the sundae is as beautiful as it is delicious.

The whole Ice creams family
Ice creams, nice cream, ice lollies: all the frozen purple, from one recipe to the next.
The chef's touch
A beautiful sundae is a matter of order and contrast.
Assemble it just before serving, so the whipped cream holds and the shards stay crunchy. Play with contrasts: warm melting sauce over cold ice cream, the sweetness of ube against the tang of fruit. Serve in a glass chilled beforehand.
A drizzle of condensed milk or white chocolate sauce deepens the pairing with ube.
