sundae
Drizzled frozen treat
A sundae is ice cream served with toppings—typically syrup, whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry.
The dish is associated with American ice cream parlors and soda fountains: a hot fudge sundae, a banana split sundae.
The spelling distinguishes it from the day of the week, though the connection to Sunday remains debated.
