Pomegranate Apple Sundaes
I was trying to come up with the perfect Rosh Hashanah dessert. Mind you it’s incredibly hot outside so my brain is going towards refreshing and cold! It had to have apples and pomegranate…and chocolate…and dairy-free vanilla ice cream. You can see where this is going…Pomegranate Apple Sundaes.
Pure happiness in a bowl!
How I came up with Pomegranate Apple Sundaes
Initially, Dear Social Media Guy wasn’t so impressed with the whole sundae idea. “It’s a sundae”.Oh ye of little faith…The Pomegranate Apple Sundaes are sudaes in a different stratosphere. They have homemade, rich chocolate ganache, apple pomegranate crumble, pomegranate grenadine syrup, creamy dairy-free vanilla ice cream and fresh pomegranate arils (seeds).This is not just any sundae. It’s a burst of flavor in every spoonful!
Pomegranate Apple Sundaes are bursting with a multitude of flavors. Yes… I know the ice cream is melting… it’s HOT outside and indoors!!!
How I made Pomegranate Apple Sundaes
One of the best things about Pomegranate Apple Sundaes, aside from how absolutely delicious they are, is that they’re fairly easy to make. Here’s a little more about the ingredients.
Pomegranate Grenadine
I wanted to top the sundaes with a pomegranate “sauce” of some sort. I did some Google searching for pomegranate syrup and found Pomegranate Grenadine that is used for making mixed cocktails. I generally don’t drink alcohol so it was a new find for me. It’s just the right consistency, tanginess and sweetness for the Pomegranate Apple Sundaes. You could probably use another pomegranate syrup if you like and I’ll link some more below.Here’s one example:

The Chocolate Ganache for the bottom of the Pomegranate Apple Sundaes
I love making fresh ganache, and using my microwave is a great way to make the process super speedy. Basically, I microwave dairy-free heavy whipping cream for a minute, then add a ratio of 2:1 chocolate chips:whipping cream and let it sit for a couple minutes. What this does, is while the chocolate chips are sitting in the cream they melt. After they do, whisking the two together results in a smooth, rich, creamy, versatile chocolate ganache.
The perfect chocolate ganache is smooth, rich and shiny!
On the bottom of the sundae bowl, the ganache thickens and becomes fudge-like. Taking a spoonful with the rest of the sundae contents is like eating a little bit of heaven.
Really.
Don’t worry if you don’t have the time or inclination to make Homemade Ganache. You can use store bought fudge topping or chocolate syrup. I guarantee it won’t be as good.
The Apple Crumble Topping
This time of year everything has an apple crumble topping. It’s like making a simple apple granola that you can put on top of just about anything.You start with certified gluten free rolled oats (don’t use the instant ones – they’ll fall apart), add spices, fresh apples and a little bit of margarine to make it crisp. Blend it all together with your fingers, then put in on a baking sheet, into the oven and call it a day.It’s great on yogurt, baked apples, cobbler, chicken and of course…Pomegranate Apple Sundaes.
This Pomegranate Apple Sundae is loaded with Apple Crumble Topping. Check out the bowl of it in the background…and there’s more that you don’t even see!
Dried Pomegranate Arils/Seeds
These little guys are pretty sneaky. I added them to the Apple Crumble Topping to give the Pomegranate Apple Sundaes even more pomegranate flavor. They’re kind of dark and unless you look carefully you might think they’re burnt pieces of oats. Don’t be fooled…they’re hidden gems.
Dried Pomegranate Arils in Pomegranate Apple Sundaes are little hidden flavor bombs.
