Ingredients
Scale
Meat Layer
- 4 cups shredded saucy meat (such as BBQ chicken, divided)
Potato Layer
- 4 cups mashed potatoes
Toppings
- 4 cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Prepare Layers: Take 1/2 cup of shredded meat and 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes. These will serve as the building blocks for each sundae serving.
- Assemble the Sundae: In each serving dish, start by layering 1/2 cup of shredded meat, then add 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes on top. Repeat the layers once more to create two layers of meat and two layers of potatoes per serving.
- Add Topping: Finish each sundae by placing a cherry tomato on top, mimicking a classic sundae cherry.
Notes
- Use warm shredded meat and mashed potatoes for best layering and flavor.
- For a vegetarian twist, consider using a saucy shredded mushroom or jackfruit instead of meat.
- Customize the saucy meat flavor to your preference, such as BBQ, teriyaki, or spicy styles.
- Serve immediately for best texture and temperature contrast.
