Red White and Blue Sundae #SundaySupper
Even though summer does not officially begin until June 21, there is something about Memorial Day weekend that makes me feel like summer is here. I can taste the end of the school year and I am so ready for some footloose and carefree days that do not involve homework for baby boy.
Memorial Day weekend is a time to remember those brave men and women who died while serving in the armed services. Even when we spend time at picnics with our family and friends, we need to take the time to talk about the sacrifices made so that we may live in this great country, feeling safe and secure.
Which is why red white and blue is the theme of today’s Sunday Supper event. I decided to make a Red White and Blue Sundae for two reasons. This sundae is bursting with flavors from the cooked blueberries and fresh strawberries and the kids love it, which is always a perk.
However you spend this long weekend, I hope you surround yourself with those you love.

- 1 pint blueberries
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1½ teaspoons cornstarch
- strawberries cut into small pieces and/or whole raspberries
- vanilla ice cream
- Place the blueberries, sugar and cornstarch into a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens. Set aside to cool unless you want hot sauce over your ice cream.
- Scoop ice cream in a bowl. Top with the blueberry sauce and strawberries and/or raspberries.

I know adults would adore your sundaes, too! What a perfect dessert to kick off the summer season 🙂
Thanks so much, Liz. I must admit that I had a hard time stopping! 😉
Oooh, blueberry sauce! I’m thinking this would be fabulous on pancakes as well, Betsy. Here’s to ice cream, sangria and no more homework!
Stacy,
I am SOOOOOOO with you! I LOVE that combination! 🙂
You could almost use the hashtag #SundaeSupper with this dish. LOL. It looks delicious and thank you for participating this week!
DB,
You have NO idea how close I was to doing just that! 😉
Thanks for being an amazing host.
YUM!! I am in love with this sundae, especially that sauce!!
Bobbi,
Thanks so much. There are so many delicious foods that can accompany the blueberry sauce. Plus, it is amazing on its own!
#SundaeSupper — that is SUCH a great idea!
I was SO tempted to write #SundaeSupper, Shaina! That would have been pretty funny…at least to us! 😉
Kids loving it is definitely a perk, but I’d eat all the leftovers if they didn’t. No worries at all. These look so good, Betsy!
Susan,
Thanks so much. I ate ALL of the leftovers!!! 😉
What a fantastic dessert! My kids would be all over this.
Thanks Tammi,
You better believe they will be!! 🙂
Maybe it’s Noah on Dancing with the Stars, maybe it’s age, but somehow this Memorial Day I am remembering and grateful for the men and women in uniform. Thank you, Betsy, for expressing the point so eloquently that regardless of wherever and however we are enjoying the holiday, it’s good to raise our glasses in gratitude <3
On a lighter note <3 Wishing you summery carefree days filled with your spectacular ice cream sundaes and no homework!
You always sum things up so beautifully, Kim. Thanks so very much! <3

Sundaes are perfect just about ANY time of day, Cindy. 🙂

You know the way to my dessert love. This sundae is exactly what I need on a Sunday night.
Thanks so much, Rini. You and me both! 🙂
Perfect for Memorial Day or the Fourth – is there anything more American than ice cream?!
