Olivia Everson: Hello, my name is Olivia Everson from Giffords Ice Cream & Candy Company. Today we are making ice cream sundae. Right now, I am going to show you how to make a Old Glory Parfait. Some of the things you will need would be a cup, ice cream of course, a scooper, nuts almonds or almonds of your choice, sauce such as hot fudge or sauce of your choice, whipped cream and a cherry.

First step, you are going to grab the cup and you are going to put hot fudge about right here in the cup. Now to make it more presentable you can put hot fudge around the cups, so that's what I am going to do right now, kind of get it on the edges like that. I am going to put the ice cream in the cup. You can choose any kind of ice cream of your choice, so just going to scoop it in here. It's typically a big scoop of ice cream.

Next, I am going to put some more hot fudge on top and put some almonds on top or it could be peanuts or walnuts. I am going to grab the whipped cream, make sure you shake it up before or it will come out kind of liquidy. Put a nice circle of whipped cream on top. Grab the cherry, it's always important to tap off the cherry juice so you don't have a spill of cherry juice on the side and make to it a little bit more fancy, you could just go ahead and sprinkle some more almonds on the top and that's how you make an Old Glory Parfait.

Next, we will show you how to make another ice cream sundae, Alpine Banana Split.
