I need to get my ice cream on.
Here are the usable ingredients to the best of my knowledge:
Chocolate Ice Cream
Whipped Cream
Chocolate Whipped Cream
Chocolate Syrup
Peanut Butter
Sugar
Chocolate Powder
Inquire about further ingredients, and I'll see if we have them.
Now...Help me make the ultimate sundae.

And butterscotch, for whatever reason, is not a big thing here in Aus.
Get off the internet.
EDIT: This sentiment probably informs my atheism to a significant degree.
Past that.....butterschotch or caramel would be great. Crushed candy or cookie would be good, too.
Normally I'd agree, but there really isn't a good way to incorporate the peanut butter without mixing it with something else. I mean, if he wanted to get fancypants he could take a beater and whip the shit out of the peanut butter while pouring in the chocolate syrup, but the blender method is faster and the end result isn't going to taste much different.
That's not even necessary. Combined with simple vanilla ice cream, honey makes a delicious and amazing desert out of a mediocre one.
Ah, I misunderstood your original bit. I didn't see that you separated the ice cream.
Yeah, that'd work. Also though, if you can just force the PB through some kind of squirting device (I think you may be able to buy PB in such containers these days), the problem of big globs of peanut butter is avoided.
We need to work together on this.
But, if you must have a sundae:
Bananas. I know, it's technically a banana split or some bullshit, but a split is a form of sundae. Caramel and Hot Fudge sauce. Once again, good vanilla ice cream. Sprinkles. Sprinkles, damnit!
Do you really put sugar on your Ice Cream in Australia, or did you just list every possible topping you happen to have in your nearly bare pantry?

Consider also:
- Getting some waffle cones and breaking them up and putting large pieces around the edge
- Shitty ice cream will ruin it all, so don't skimp.
*Emphasis mine
Finally, someone who understands. God, my family considers anything white and frozen to be adequate vanilla...*sigh*. And good point. I myself prefer the fruity syrups and butterscotch. And it couldn't be easier, boiling shit in sugar? I can even do it in a dorm kitchen. Raspberry...yummm. Of course, leave those berries in there for excellent flavor and texture.

This brings up a good point... what ARE some of the better brands of vanilla around that are easily obtainable?
Back in the days of school and non work, I remember making my own vanilla, but it wasn't very good. I was at the mercy of my moms ingredients and I know she uses vanillin, not vanilla (sadly I don't think she knows the difference).
Obviously not a "great" ice cream there, as no real vanilla beans etc.
So, what's the scoop? Pun very much intended!
I would suggest, instead, dividing the ingredients to create several exquisite *little* sundaes instead of one enormous one.
Some recommendations... you may not have all of these ingredients, but some experimental substitution never hurt.
Grasshopper Pie
Ingredients:
Mint chocolate chip ice cream
Oreo cookie crumbs
Marshmallow spread
Creme de menthe
Chocolate syrup
Whipped cream
Instructions:
1. Mix the Oreo crumbs with just enough chocolate syrup to hold them together. Press the resulting mixture into the bottom of a wide, flat bowl, to a depth of about 1/4". Put the bowl in the freezer to harden the crumb crust.
2. In a blender, combine the ice cream, creme de menthe, and marshmallow spread. The resulting concotion should be soft enough to spread, but not liquidy. (If it's liquid, add more marshmallow, or stir more ice cream into it by hand.
3. Spoon the ice cream mixture onto the crust, and press it in so it fills the bowl.
4. Decorate the outer edge of the ice cream with whipped cream, and sprinkle any leftover Oreo crumbs over the ice cream filling.
5. Eat with a fork, as if it were a delicious ice cream pie.
Frozen S'Mores
Ingredients:
Heavenly hash or rocky road ice cream
Graham crackers
Marshmallow spread
Squares of milk chocolate
Instructions:
1. Spread each graham cracker with about 1" of ice cream, trying to keep the thickness even.
2. Stick the half-done S'Mores in the freezer for about half an hour, so the ice cream gets nice and solid (so you have time to work with it).
3. Lay the squares of chocolate out on a plate. Microwave them, *very carefully*, on low power. You don't want to melt them, you just want them to be gooey and soft.
4. Pull the ice cream-coated graham crackers out of the freezer. Quickly spread a swipe of marshmallow topping on top of the ice cream, then use a thin, wide-bladed knife to scrape a square of chocolate off the plate and onto the top of the marshmallow. (Run the knife under very hot water to prevent sticking).
5. Eat like a standard ice cream sandwich.
Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich
Ingredients:
Vanilla or peanut butter ice cream
Chunky peanut butter
Sliced bananas
Chocolate syrup
Instructions:
1. Press 1" of ice cream onto the bottom of a wide, shallow bowl.
2. Cover the ice cream with banana slices.
3. Drizzle chocolate sauce over the banana slices.
4. Spread peanut butter over the whole thing.
5. More chocolate sauce.
6. Cover the peanut butter with banana slices.
7. Add another layer of ice cream.
8. Use a big spoon.
Iced Hot Chocolate
Ingredients:
Vanilla ice cream
Hot chocolate powder
Marshmallow spread
Chocolate sauce
Instructions:
1. In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream and the hot chocolate powder until they're thoroughly blended and just a bit runny, like a very thick milkshake.
2. Pour the ice cream mixture into a frosted mug.
3. Spoon a layer of marshmallow spread on top of the ice cream.
4. Drizzle with chocolate sauce.
5. Eat in front of a roaring fire, with long-handled spoons or an extremely thick straw.
Golden Kiwis
Ingredients:
Hokey pokey ice cream (the real New Zealand kind with the tiny chips of sponge toffee, no fucking ripples) or vanilla
Manuka honey
Golden kiwifruit
Arrowroot cookie crumbs
Instructions:
1. Cut each kiwi in half, and carefully scoop out the flesh.
2. In a blender, combine the ice cream, honey, cookie crumbs, and kiwifruit, until the mixture is smooth but still solid.
3. Spoon the ice cream mixture into the empty, fuzzy kiwi skins, like you were making devilled eggs or stuffed green peppers, but awesomer.
4. Sprinkle any leftover arrowroot crumbs over top, and drizzle with just a touch more honey.
5. Eat very carefully. Real Kiwis eat the skins too, but lesser men need not attempt that, especially after drowning their tastebuds in the sugar of the filling.
Oh, Canada
Ingredients:
Vanilla ice cream
Maple syrup
Sliced apples, of a sweet variety
Sweetened granola, preferably not the stuff with enormous chunks of solid stuff in it
Instructions:
1. Soak the apple slices in maple syrup, then put them in the microwave for 30-60 seconds (enough to heat and soften them, not enough to make them explode).
2. Arrange the apple slices along the sides of a standard banana split dish, or any other long, narrow dish.
3. Fill the dish with three big scoops of ice cream.
4. Scatter a generous handful of granola over the top, then drizzle with maple syrup.
You've actually got many choices when it comes to Vanilla these days. Myself, I am a fan of Dreyer's Grand and Breyer's on occasion. Breyer's is very nice but has a bit of a bite to it and is more icey and milky. Dreyer's is more traditional.
Dreyer's Grand (the real stuff, not the yogurt or 'lite' stuff) now has no less than four flavors of Vanilla for sale: classic Vanilla, French Vanilla, Double Vanilla, and Vanilla Bean.
The classic vanilla is just that: very traditional, not overwhelming in any particular respect. The French Vanilla is richer. The Double Vanilla has intense vanilla flavor and is sweeter, and the Vanilla Bean has that 'tickles the back of your throat' vanilla thing going on. I prefer the Double Vanilla, but again it's a matter of personal taste.
In short, it does matter, get something that likely has more vanilla flavor (look for ice creams with actual, you know, flecks of vanilla bean).
Also, Kate of Lokys, are you some kind of Ice Cream wizard? Some kind of magnificent hot fudge wielding sorcerer?

Pour over icecream + raspberries.
So good.
cuz get some goddamn coconut
and toast it
DO IT
FUCKER
STEAM
Miss Lokys has prepared ice cream for me before.
Like, in person.
Oh, it was good.
You know what is REALLY tasty - but not quite a sundae? Take a sherbet (I like rainbow myself), put it in a bowl and fill the rest of the bowl about midway with Sprite/7Up/Sierra Mist. Absolutely the most refreshing thing ever on a hot summer day.
