Start your week off with something sweet with an Ice Cream Sundaes on Sunday<\/strong> get-together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s a bottle of wine at the dinner party or a six-pack of beer for Sunday Night Football, sometimes it feels like every get-together revolves around alcohol. And, we\u2019re especially reminded of this during Dry January when people are trying to drink less. So, how do we get together with friends in a fun way without<\/em> alcohol? (Seems like a crazy but simple question, right?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cue the ice cream sundae bar for Sundaes on Sunday<\/strong>. Instead of filling your bar car with booze, create a bar with sweet treats for your friends to design their own ice cream sundaes. The best part is you won\u2019t wake up hungover the next morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ice Cream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, how much ice cream do you need to buy? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A typical ice cream scoop from a local shop is \u00bd cup of 4 ounces. So, if you plan for two scoops per guest, you can assume that one cup of ice cream per guest is enough. We can safely say a 1.5 quart of ice cream (the standard size for larger cartons) will feed six guests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reality, most of your guests won\u2019t serve themselves a full two scoops of ice cream because they\u2019ll be focused on piling on the toppings. Either way, it\u2019s better to have ice cream left over than to run out and be short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a party of 12 people, buy two 1.5 quarts or six pints of ice cream. Buying pints can offer you more variety and flavors from smaller artisanal shops. Quarts are the standard size for brands like Breyer\u2019s, Tillamook, and Edy\u2019s. To save on cost while still adding variety, buy a Neapolitan ice cream quart because it comes with your basic flavors: vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep your ice cream cold, you can put it on ice or in a cooler on the table. It won\u2019t melt too quickly if you want to take it out for serving and put it right back in the freezer instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waffle and Sugar Cones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At an ice cream shop, you can choose between a cup, sugar cone, or waffle cone. Your ice cream sundae bar should have the same options. You can buy waffle cones, waffle cups, and sugar cones at any grocery store. It\u2019s usually in a display by the ice cream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toppings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
