  • 1 scoop chocolate ice cream
  • 1 scoop strawberry ice cream

  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream (store-bought or freshly whipped)

Instructions

  1. Let ice cream soften slightly at room temperature for 5–10 minutes.
  2. Place one scoop each of vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry ice cream into a large glass hurricane glass or sundae bowl—stack them for a塔 effect or serve side-by-side for a messy, Luke’s-style vibe.

Notes

  • For extra authenticity, use chocolate-dipped cone pieces as a rim garnish.

  • Vegan/dairy-free? Swap with plant-based ice cream and coconut whipped cream.
