National Hot Fudge Sundae Day Date in the current year: July 25, 2025
July 25 is National Hot Fudge Sundae Day! This food holiday celebrates the delicious ice cream dessert topped with hot sweet sauce.A sundae usually has several scoops of ice cream and is topped with syrup or another sweet sauce. Other toppings are sometimes added, including whipped cream, sprinkles, fresh or canned fruit, and maraschino cherries.
A heated-sauce sundae is a variation of a sundae in which the syrup or sauce is heated before being poured over the ice cream. The basic type of heated-sauce sundae is the hot fudge sundae. It is made with ice cream (any flavor can be used though vanilla is the most common), hot chocolate sauce, whipped cream, sprinkles, and nuts. It is usually garnished with a maraschino cherry.
The hot fudge sundae has several variations. For instance, a double fudge sundae is twice as big and made with extra fudge and whipped cream. A caramel sundae uses heated caramel sauce instead of hot fudge, and a butterscotch sundae uses butterscotch sauce instead of hot fudge. A turtle sundae is made with vanilla ice cream, hot caramel and fudge sauces, and toasted pecans.
In celebration of National Hot Fudge Sundae Day, treat yourself to any type of hot fudge sundae.
