Hot Fudge Sundae — The DQ Classic

The Hot Fudge Sundae is one of the most straightforward items on the DQ menu — warm fudge poured generously over cold DQ soft serve. The temperature contrast is the appeal: the warm fudge slightly softens the top layer of soft serve while the bottom stays cold and creamy. It is a simple pleasure that works every time.
