On warm days choose cool, refreshing toppings: fresh fruit, crushed nuts, chilled sauces and a scoop of sorbet. On cool nights choose warm, comforting elements such as hot fudge, toasted nuts, warm brownie crumbles and baked fruit. At Brookers Founding Flavors Ice Cream, Lehi UT, we design sundaes that match the weather and the moment for families, date nights and groups.
Quick ideas: toppings that suit the season
Warm day toppings
- Fresh berries, sliced peaches or citrus segments for brightness
- Chilled sauces like fruit coulis or cold caramel
- Sorbet or a small lemon curd scoop to cut richness
- Crunchy elements such as toasted almonds or granola for texture
- Mints or citrus zest for a cooling finish
Cool night toppings
- Warm sauces, for example hot fudge or warm salted caramel
- Baked elements like warm brownie crumbles or cookie pieces
- Toasted nuts or spiced streusel for a cozy mouthfeel
- Baked fruit, such as cinnamon apples or roasted figs, paired with vanilla
- A dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg
How we think about pairing flavor and temperature
We start with a base flavor, then layer contrast and texture. For hot afternoons, lighter bases and bright fruit make the sundae refreshing. For cooler evenings, richer bases like butter pecan or chocolate hold up to warm sauces and baked toppings.

Build a sundae with purpose: simple steps we follow
- Pick the base. Choose a flavor that matches the mood, lighter sherbets for heat and richer creams for cool nights.
- Add temperature contrast. For warm days we add chilled fruit or sorbet. For cool nights we add a warm sauce or baked crumble.
- Layer texture. Include a crunchy element and something soft, like toasted nuts and a warm brownie piece.
- Balance sweetness. Bright fruit, a squeeze of citrus or a pinch of salt can stop a sundae from feeling flat.
- Finish with a touch of flair. Garnish with a seasonal fruit, a drizzle, or a small cookie to complete the experience.
Practical checklist for choosing toppings
Before you order
- Decide if you want the sundae to be cooling or comforting
- Pick one warm or cold element, one crunchy element and one bright note
- Ask about seasonal toppings and current flavors
- Note any allergies or dietary needs so staff can recommend options
Allergies, dietary choices and safety
Watch out: Many toppings contain nuts, dairy or gluten. Tell our team about allergies or dietary restrictions and we will point out safer options and avoid cross contact when possible.
We offer dairy forward and some allergen conscious choices. If you have a strict allergy, remind your server before we assemble the sundae.

Frequently asked questions
Can you make a dairy free or vegan sundae?
Yes. We offer options that reduce or eliminate dairy depending on what is available that day. Tell us your dietary needs and we will recommend flavors and toppings that work.
What toppings are good for kids?
For kids choose familiar, colorful toppings like sprinkles, cookie pieces and fresh berries. Ask for smaller portions or a shared size when you want to temper sweetness.
Do you offer seasonal toppings at the Lehi location?
Yes, seasonal toppings and sauces rotate with our flavors. Seasonal fruit, baked elements and limited time sauces appear throughout the year, so ask our team about what is new during your visit.
