Tips & Tricks

For an extra crunch, sprinkle some crushed nuts like almonds or pistachios on top of the sundae.
Experiment with different flavors of ice cream such as vanilla or coffee to create your own variations.
If you prefer a milder spice level, adjust the amount of black pepper and cinnamon according to your taste preference.
Serve the sundae in chilled bowls to keep the ice cream from melting too quickly.
Add a drizzle of caramel sauce for an additional layer of sweetness.
