The Strawberry Hibiscus Sundae: Sweet, Salty & Unexpected

The Strawberry Hibiscus Sundae: Sweet, Salty & Unexpected

A Sweet Summer Collaboration

There’s something special about the combination of strawberries, floral hibiscus, creamy ice cream, and a little sweet-and-salty crunch. This Strawberry Hibiscus Sundae was created in collaboration with Local Palate Marketplace and features our Strawberry Hibiscus Pop as the finishing touch.

The result is an elevated dessert that feels equal parts nostalgic and unexpected, with layers of strawberry sauce, whipped cream, olive oil, flaky sea salt, and popcorn crunch. Perfect for summer entertaining, date nights, or treating yourself. 😊

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar
  • ¾ cup strawberry preserves
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 pint ice cream or sorbet
  • Olive oil for drizzling
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Ella’s Popcorn Strawberry Hibiscus Pop


Directions

  1. For the strawberry sauce, warm the strawberry preserves in a small saucepan over low-medium heat, stirring gently to break up any clumps. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the water. Strain through a fine mesh sieve. Set aside to cool.

  2. Using a stand mixer or a handheld electric beater, whip the cream and confectioners’ sugar on medium-high speed until it forms medium peaks. The texture should be soft and billowy. Set aside or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

  3. Scoop your ice cream into serving bowls (mixing flavors is encouraged). Generously smother with the strawberry sauce, followed by a drizzle of olive oil. Top with a handful of Strawberry Hibiscus Pop and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Finish with a spoonful of whipped cream.

  4. Serve immediately and enjoy!
