At this point, y’all are like ‘oh my lands, another mason jar dessert?!’ I know, I know.
But but but, mason jars make it so easy to portion for two! Unless… you want to purchase stock in Sur La Table and buy many little pans to make my desserts. No? Just me? And my Mom? Ok, got it. I had a hunch.
I make these ice cream sundae jars and stash them in the freezer for a quick snack.
It can be a bit tedious to make an ice cream sundae each time you have a craving. First, you have to scoop rock-hard ice cream. If you wait for the ice cream to soften first, there’s a slight chance you’ll die of ice cream-nemia. Then, you must drizzle the sauce in between scoops. Don’t forget about the crunchy nuts that must be layered in a perfect ratio that is unique to each human, much like a fingerprint. <--- scientific fact
So, I make these mason jar sundaes sealed with a lid, and store them in my freezer for dessert. Or, you can take two bites every hour all day long. I've never nibbled on ice cream all day. Never ever. Especially not ice cream with toasted coconut chips this size:
Speaking of these large coconut chips, I made Mr. Dessert for Two drive me to a store on the other side of the city just to buy them. So, if you could, please tell me how adorable they are and how this dessert would be incomplete without them? Help me justify my food purchases to my husband, please. He doesn't get it. You do. I know you do.
Hey, St. Louisans: You were SO RIGHT about Ted Drewes. So so SO right. It's like 'what was I eating before? Ice cream? Aww, how cute, it's trying to taste like Ted Drewes frozen custard.' Just like that. Sorry for all the quotes.

I LOVE your mason jar recipes! And these ice cream sundaes are a must for us over the weekend. Such a great idea, girl!

I love this idea! This is such a fun way to enjoy a sunday, my kids would go nuts!

Dr. Mr. Dessert for Two: the coconut chips were worth it! :) Ohhh the things you do in a mason jar, my dear! I love them all! You could write a whole mason jar cookbook and I'd be sold down the river. Must eat this sundae asap!

I hate when I die of ice cream-nemia and I also hate when my husband gives me "the look" when I buy food that he doesn't understand.
Katie says
Yet again, this looks amazing. Its going on my list right now.

Yay for frozen custard! Have you tried the Kirkwood train station? Or Silky's in Chesterfield? Oh I miss it so much! One of the few downsides of leaving StL for Texas.
Melissa Shultz says
Your post made me chuckle out loud this morning. I certainly don't want to die of ice cream-nemia. LOL! You can tell the Mr that the large coconut slivers were worth the trip. At least you didn't make him take you to the Caribbean to get real fresh coconut. You were willing to settle for these yummy slivers from the store. These look so yummy. The only thing I don't like about your post is that the photos make me drool and I can't just reach out and grab one to eat right now.

I didn't know you live in St. Louis! I just very recently found your blog and I'm in love! I live in Louisville, KY now with my husband but grew up in STL. We had Ted Drewes as dessert at our wedding - THE best!
