You can make donuts using biscuit dough! I used regular and chocolate chip biscuit dough here. 

Directions:
1. Take your biscuit dough out of the tubes and use a round cookie cutter (or any small round glass) to cut a hole in the middle. Put the center dough to the side.
2. Spray your air fryer with cooking spray.
3. Put as many donuts in the air fryer that will fit your appliance. If you have the Instant Pot/Air Fryer, I did three at a time.
4. Fry the donuts for 6 minutes flipping halfway through. So three minutes, then flip, and three more minutes.
5. Take them out and add your icing!
6. You can use the middle pieces to make donut holes.

To make these, add icing the the back of a Nilla wafer. Place a second cookie on top allowing the front to be open while the backs are touching. Add candy eyes or pearls to the icing. 

You can make these in lots of colors. I was feeling pink, but blue or purple is totally on theme for a mermaid party or a "let's shell-a-brate" party!

How to Make an Ice Cream Sundae Board

Y’all know I love to make a board. I’ve made lots of different boards, but this Ice Cream Sundae board might be my new favorite. It was surprisingly easy to put together and would be such a fun treat for a girl’s night or just for some summer fun with your kids.

I put this ice cream sundae board together for a “board night” with some girlfriends. The concept is that everyone brings a different type of board. Now, if you have been a long time reader of this blog, you know I love to make a board. This was the perfect party for me. I wanted a challenge and to do something different that I hadn’t done before.

Everyone really showed up on the board front. We had a french fry board with fries from different fast food restaurants, a little debbie board with sweet treats, a popcorn board with all the fixings, a gourmet pretzel board, a cheesecake board, a classic charcuterie, a healthy veggie board and even a cocktail board with specialty cocktails!

I was so excited to add my ice cream board to the mix. In this blog post, I’m going to share everything I used to make it and how I put it together.

Check out how I make charcuterie cups here!

How to Make an Ice Cream Sundae Board

Boards and Tools

First, I used this 20×13 board with handles. I felt the handles were important because there are a lot of pieces to this board and I wanted to make sure everything stayed in place. I also knew if I had to carry it, it would be heavy and the handles would help distribute the weight. Finally, I needed a board big enough to hold all the different pieces.

My next item to find was this galvanized tub. This was a CHALLENGE! I thought I could just head over to Joann or Michaels or Home Depot or Hobby Lobby or any kind of craft store. They had lots of different options, but not exactly what I needed. I ended up finding this container on Amazon. It’s a little bit bigger than I would have liked, but it worked. I had my husband pop the handles off with a screwdriver and it fit fine. I will be keeping an eye out for a smaller container so I can do this again with more items, but for now, I like this one.

Then I purchased these little jars with lids. I felt the lids were important because I could pre-fill the containers with toppings and then just pack all the containers to go to the party and assemble the board when I got there. Moreover, I was right, this was the move. I bought mine from Michaels and I can’t find them online. If you want the exact ones, they are near the vases in the floral department at Michael’s, but these from Amazon are similar.

I then bought a few wider jars to hold things like cherries and gummy worms. I only ended up using two, but you could easily add more.

Then I purchased these squeeze bottles for caramel, chocolate and marshmallow sauce. This is a great way to have your sauces and keep your board looking cute.

Finally, I purchased matching ice cream scoops because I just didn’t have five ice cream scoops chilling at my house. I wanted them to match, so I just purchased some cheap scoops to use for this board. I bought mine at Kroger, but these are perfect for what I was trying to accomplish.

Ingredients for an Ice Cream Sundae Board

Here is where you have a lot of freedom to get creative! Basically, whatever you want on your Ice Cream Sundae board, you can add. I’ll break down what I used though.

Ice Cream – Obviously, this is important. I went with a mint chocolate chip, vanilla, strawberry, chocolate with chocolate chips, and cookies and cream. Also, I actually think with this container, I could have used one more. I had the room.

Toppings – These filled my little jars and I used cherries, gummy worms, marshmallows, chocolate chips, crushed oreos, chocolate sprinkles, rainbow sprinkles, fudge stripe cookies, crushed nuts, mini M&Ms, Reese’s pieces and gummy bears.

Sauces – For sauces, I used a chocolate syrup, a caramel sauce and marshmallow creme.

Other Items – These I placed around the sides, but I used waffle bowls, sugar cones, a sliced banana, sliced strawberries, chocolate chip cookies and whipped cream.

Ice – to keep the ice cream cold!

How to Assemble an Ice Cream Sundae Board

Watch a full tutorial on how I assembled my board on Instagram.

Prep work

Before assembling the board, I washed everything. All containers, boards, scoops, squeeze jars, fruits, plates, etc. Then I filled all my jars with the toppings and the squeeze bottle with sauces. I cut the banana in half and then cut the peel down one side. I opened the peel slightly and sliced the banana inside the peel to keep it all together. Also, I sliced some fresh strawberries.

Assembly

When it was time to actually assemble the board, I put the board down first, then the galvanized container in the middle. I placed all the toppings around in their little jars and gave the ones that needed it a tiny spoon or fork. Get creative with the fit. I put the sauces at one end. Then I put the stacked sugar cones in one corner and lined the side with fruits and cookies. I put the waffle bowls on a plate next to the board.

For the ice cream, I put the different flavors in the container and then used a cup to pour crushed ice around the sides. You can also pick up a bag of nugget ices from Sonic, Chick-Fil-A or Zaxbys to do this and have cohesive-looking ice. Then open the containers, put out your scoops and you are ready to serve!!
