Creating this sundae is a breeze, even if you’re new to the kitchen. Here’s how to do it:

1. Start by roasting your nuts if they aren’t pre-roasted. Preheat your oven to 350°F, spread the nuts on a baking sheet, and roast for about 10 minutes, or until they are golden and fragrant. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
2. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and unsalted butter together, stirring frequently until smooth. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
3. Once melted, remove the chocolate from the heat and let it cool slightly. This ensures it thickens a bit, perfect for drizzling.
4. Scoop generous servings of vanilla ice cream into bowls. This is where I often get the kids involved, letting them choose the size of their scoops.
5. Drizzle the warm chocolate sauce over the ice cream. Don’t worry about making it look perfect—remember, home cooking is about love, not perfection!
6. Sprinkle the roasted nuts over the top, adding a pinch of sea salt if desired to enhance the flavors.

And there you have it—an easy yet impressive dessert ready to enjoy.
