🕰 A Sweet Slice of Sundae History

The exact origin of the ice cream sundae is debated, but most food historians trace its roots to the late 1800s. One popular story hails from Evanston, Illinois, where laws prohibited the sale of soda on Sundays. Local soda fountains, looking to satisfy the weekend crowds, replaced soda with syrup over ice cream, giving birth to the “Sunday soda” — eventually becoming known as the “sundae.”

Whether it was born of blue laws or just clever innovation, the sundae has remained a beloved treat for over a century. Now, we’re giving it a keto revival — so you can celebrate history with a low-carb scoop.

🍫 Part 2: Keto Hot Fudge Sauce

• 1/4 cup Keystone Pantry Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips

• 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
