1. Take fresh berries to the next level

Sprinkle a little sugar on top and let them sit at room temperature for an hour to draw moisture out.

2. Use toppings that complement the ice cream flavor

McConnell's Olive Oil and Salted Almonds ice cream, for example, goes well with fresh figs, a drizzle of honey and crumbled almond biscotti.

3. Mix and match the ice cream flavors.

4. It's all about nuts

Peanuts, hazelnuts, and walnuts all add texture and crunch to a sundae.

5. Experiment with whipped cream

To make a maple-bourbon version, pick your favorite whipped cream recipe and add a tablespoon of bourbon then use maple syrup instead of sugar.

6. Never underestimate the power of a crumbled Girl Scout cookie

Thin Mints pair oh so well with mint ice cream and hot fudge, FYI!
