Ice Cream and Sundae Toppings using 7-Up Soda

Summertime is hot. It’s nice to cool it down with something cool and sweet like ice cream. How exactly National Strawberry Sundae Day is on July 7th is something I can’t find, but the fact that it’s on the first part of July is probably a factor. It’s a date in the middle of the summer. Me finding ice cream and sundae toppings using 7-Up as a major ingredient seems like devine intervention.

Here are some some ice cream and sundae topping recipes to celebrate this holiday on the 7th of July, by 7-Up soda. These recipes are from the 1963 little booklet from the Seven-Up Company, Quick Recipe Favorites…distinctively different with 7-Up. The fudge one is especially fudgy and would be great on anything, so don’t limit it to just ice cream.
