Synonyms, crossword clues, and other words connected to "ICE-CREAM WITH SYRUP [sundae]" Ice cream is one of America's favorite desserts and sundaes. Ice cream with sauce is also popular as ice cream sandwiches. Syrup is the clear liquid that forms when you heat sugar with water or another liquid. It can be flavored or not flavored. The flavor of ice cream comes from two main ingredients: milk or cream (which makes it dairy) with sugar (which makes it sweet). Other ingredients may be added to change the overall taste of the ice cream. For example, vanilla is the most common ice cream flavor but others include chocolate, strawberry, coffee, caramel, mint, and many more. Syrup is an easy addition to ice cream that adds sweetness without adding much else to the flavor profile. Sugar is the only ingredient in syrup so it can be used in any amount. If you want less syrup on your ice cream then use less sugar. If you want more syrup then use more sugar. There are two types of syrup: plain and flavored. Plain syrup has just a slight hint of sugar flavor which comes mainly from boiling the sugar until it crystallizes.
