Emperor Norton's Ice Cream Sundae

Submitted by TexasRedHot

"Vacationing in San Francisco, CA, I took a walking tour called "Emperor Norton's Fantastic San Francisco Time Machine". The tour guide was in character for the entire tour as one of San Francisco's beloved citizens of the late 1800's named Emperor Norton the First. While standing in front of one the city's ice cream parlors; he described a ice cream sundae served there that was named for him but had been discontinued. He gladly gave us the recipe and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do. I apologize for the picture, but I am sure you get the idea."

I have not eaten an ice Cream Sundae in fifty years or more. I came to this recipe from an article in WSJ about the new Emperor and I am happy to imagine eating this super caloric concoction. Owing to a recent illness, resulting in a loss of 11 pounds, I am within 6 pounds of my goal weight and think it is time for a 'cheat meal', something I occasionally do with relish. If, after my first and only trial of this recipe, I change my mind, I'll be back!
