Homemade red, white and blue ice cream sundaes, with strawberries, blueberries, chocolate syrup and whipped cream make patriotic celebrations special!
This past weekend another celebration of Independence Day occurred in the United States. It’s such a special day!
We are so very grateful to live in this country, and thankful for all who have stood boldly and sacrificed their lives to provide us with the freedoms we are blessed to have here in the U.S.A.
We celebrated with Red, White and Blue Ice Cream Sundaes! They are so easy to make… here’s how!

Making Red, White and Blue Ice Cream Sundaes Is A Cinch!
Homemade vanilla ice cream is topped with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, blueberries, blue sprinkles, and fresh sliced strawberries.
You really don’t need a recipe for that, but I am including my basic homemade vanilla ice cream recipe below, for anyone who enjoys making homemade ice cream, and might want it.
Making homemade vanilla ice cream is what I enjoy doing! The ice cream part is easy. Mix up heavy whipping cream, milk, sugar and vanilla, then pour it into an ice cream maker.
After about 20 minutes, the vanilla ice cream has frozen to soft serve consistency. We LOVE making ice cream in our little Cuisinart ice cream machine, which I received as a gift!
Remove the ice cream from the machine, and put it into a sealed container in the freezer to firm up some more (an hour or two).
Time To Serve The Red, White and Blue Ice Cream Sundaes!
When ready to serve, scoop vanilla ice cream into serving dishes. Spray some whipped cream on top (along with some colored decorating sugar, if desired).
Drizzle ice cream with chocolate syrup, then surround ice cream with blueberries and sliced strawberries, and serve! Red, White, and Blue Ice Cream Sundaes, for the win!
These simple ice cream sundaes are colorful, easy and delicious, and they are perfect for any patriotic celebration!

It doesn’t have to be complicated, just fun! Happy Independence Day, from our home to yours!
Have a great week! Let’s be grateful for the freedoms we celebrate in this great country. We are blessed.
