Glass dessert bowl filled with scoops of vanilla ice cream swirled with cherry sauce, topped with whole cherries and crumbled amaretti cookies, sitting on an outdoor table with greenery in the background.

A bright, juicy dessert with a hint of indulgence

After long summer days, this sundae is exactly what we crave: something cold, tart, creamy, and just a bit unexpected. This simple recipe leans on fresh cherries, a quick homemade sauce, and a few pantry staples to create something that feels both nostalgic and elevated. The secret? A drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of flaky salt, and a Wims twist!

Step 1

In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of fresh pitted cherries, 1/4 cup cane sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, the cherries soften, and the sauce slightly thickens.

Step 2

Pour the mixture into a heatproof bowl and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, open your Unflavored Wims Pocket-Tonic™ and stir it into the cherry sauce. Set aside.

Make-Ahead Tip: The cherry sauce can be made up to 5 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Let it come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and consistency.

Step 3

Cut the angel food cake into bite-sized cubes. In a dessert bowl or glass, layer cake cubes with about 1 tbsp of cherry sauce. Top with a scoop (or three!) of your favorite ice cream—vanilla or pistachio work especially well.

Step 4

Drizzle with olive oil, add more cherry sauce, and top with crushed amaretti cookies and flaky salt. Serve right away to enjoy the creamy, crunchy, and tangy goodness in every bite.
