Yummy Yummy Sauce

Strachan's Homemade Ice Cream shop located in Dunedin and Palm Harbor, FL has a secret....and it's not their ice cream.

Usually when you visit an ice cream place it's because of their actual ice cream. It's homemade or they offer your favorite flavor etc. I remember as a kid Baskin Robbin's 31 Flavors was the only place around (at that time) that served green mint chocolate chip ice cream. Why anyone would invent mint chocolate chip ice cream that's not green is beyond me.

The sauce and toppings for ice cream however often gets overlooked. We don't necessarily care what type of toppings an ice cream place offers because we're so caught up in the ice cream flavors.

At Strachan's Homemade Ice Cream however, focusing too much on the ice cream is a big mistake. Don't get me wrong they offer some of the best homemade flavors I have ever had. But, it's not their secret.

Their secret is in their Yummy Yummy Sauce.

Yes, Yummy Yummy Sauce and let me tell you it is very yummy. It's their own combination of hot chocolate and hot caramel sauce mixed together. While it sounds very simple, don't be fooled, it's freakin delicious.

At Strachan's they put Yummy Yummy Sauce on just about everything.....Banana Splits, Homemade Ice Cream, Soft Serve, and every sundae. My favorite however is to just get plain vanilla soft serve and then let them dump as much Yummy Yummy Sauce on top of it as possible. The sweet tastes of chocolate and caramel blended together takes an ice cream dessert to an entirely different level.

Yummy Yummy sauce as far as I'm concerned is the best invention since ice cream and I can't get enough of it.

You need to experience it to, so you have two choices: 1. Visit Strachan's or 2. If you don't live in FL you'll need to make your own, here is a recipe. (When you have it finished, send me an email and I'll be right over.)
