Michigan Summer Sundae

Michigan Summer Sundae

MI Blue Sundae

One of my favorite places in the whole world is located in northern Michigan.  Having grown up there every summer, it is my happy spot. Memories of being surrounded by family & friends as we walked to the beach or the tennis courts often flood my head when I hear “summer” or “up north”. Afternoons would be spent on the water, cruising over to Oyster Bay to swim in the protected waters. The biggest concern of the day was “when is dinner?”. With long days (in July, the sun sets close to 10pm), there was no real rush. But you always knew you were in for a delicious meal, playing with the fabulous flavors Michigan provides during the summer months. Summer time in Northern Michigan is hard to beat. And so is this Michigan Summer Sundae.

Ingredients

Bake the Blueberry Muffin Bread as instructed.

Slice the Blueberry Muffin Bread and place into individual sundae bowls. Scoop the vanilla ice cream onto the bread, and top with fresh berries. A true summer treat!

    […] Hold onto summer with this absolutely delicious Blueberry Muffin Bread. Pick out the biggest, juiciest blueberries of the season and load up the batter. It’s easy to make…. trust me, I’m not a baker (I rarely use measuring devices when I cook). But this bread will now be a regular in my home. My parents have noted that while it’s obviously good to eat just plain on it’s own (I made this at our family cottage and let’s just say it didn’t last long), their new favorite is to toast a slice for breakfast…. the blueberries get hot, the edges crispy, and the butter just oozes out of the bread…yuummm. You can also use this bread to make Blueberry Muffin French Toast or a Michigan Summer Sundae. […]
