• 4 tablespoons Jakeman's pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
• Whipped cream for topping
• Optional: Fresh berries for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ice Cream:
Scoop two generous portions of your favorite vanilla or maple-flavored ice cream into serving bowls.

2. Drizzle with Pure Maple Syrup:

Generously pour 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup over each serving of ice cream. Ensure an even distribution for a perfect blend of sweetness.

3. Add Chopped Nuts:

Sprinkle a quarter cup of your choice of chopped nuts over the maple syrup and ice cream. This adds a delightful crunch and enhances the overall texture. 

4.Top with Whipped Cream:

Finish off your heavenly dessert by adding a dollop of whipped cream on top. The light and airy texture of the whipped cream perfectly complements the richness of the ice cream and maple syrup.

5. Optional Garnish:

For an extra burst of freshness, garnish your dessert with a handful of fresh berries. The berries not only add a pop of color but also provide a subtle tartness to balance the sweetness.

Tips for a Better Experience:

• Ensure your dessert bowls are chilled before serving. This keeps the ice cream from melting too quickly, allowing you to savor each bite.
• For an extra touch, warm the maple syrup slightly before drizzling. This enhances its aroma and allows it to meld seamlessly with the cold ice cream.
• Consider serving this dessert alongside a warm beverage like coffee or tea for a delightful contrast in temperatures.
