sundaes

Ice cream towers

Sundaes is the plural of sundae, a dessert of ice cream topped with sauce, whipped cream, nuts, or other garnishes.

The classic sundae features a scoop or two of ice cream drizzled with chocolate or caramel sauce: We ordered hot fudge sundaes after dinner.

The spelling distinguishes it from the day of the week.
