Nostalgic of childhood summers with the addition of a surprise tropical twist – TAO’s sexy restaurant located on the lower east side; The Stanton Social shares their coconut and blueberry sundae in an effort to support Autism Awareness Month.
Created by Celebrity Chef/Owner Chris Santos of Stanton Social – the recipe will transport you to the dreamy Caribbean islands. Where the flavors of the tropics make an ordinary sundae outstanding. This coconut blueberry sundae is not the typical sundae made with ice cream. Instead the base consists of sweet blueberry sauce, filled with mini bites of coconut cake. Then topped with a crunchy blue meringue crumble and optional whipped cream. Stanton Social makes this recipe dairy free by removing the ice cream, but keeps the creamy texture and taste by adding coconut milk to the recipe.
