If one scoop is happiness, a sundae is pure celebration.
Start with your favorite flavor (or two), then pile on the good stuff — warm fudge, caramel drizzle, fresh fruit, and a cloud of whipped cream. Top it off with a cherry (because some traditions never go out of style).
Whether you’re creating a classic hot fudge sundae or inventing your own masterpiece, there’s no wrong way to build your perfect bowl.
Sundaes are where creativity meets cravings — and every bite tells your story.
Many scoop shops are getting creative, offering seasonal or small-batch flavors that push the boundaries of tradition. But even with all these new choices, guess what still flies off the shelves? That’s right—vanilla.
It turns out, people love experimenting and sticking with the familiar. Vanilla’s staying power proves that sometimes, simple really is best.
What’s your go-to flavor? Do you stick with the classics or try something new every time?
Close behind are chocolate and strawberry, favorites that get less love than vanilla but are still top-tier when it comes to popularity. Flavors like butter pecan and cookie dough also make frequent appearances in people’s top 5.
Why is vanilla so beloved? It’s simple, versatile, and familiar. Vanilla works on its own or as the perfect base to complement toppings, sauces, or mix‑ins. Plus, it pairs well with almost anything, from warm pies to fresh berries. For many, it’s that dependability and comfort that keeps vanilla at the top.
So next time you’re ordering a cone or shopping for a pint, odds are someone nearby is ordering vanilla too. Want to explore what flavors are most popular in your state or city? I can dig up that data too!
