“World’s Largest Ice Cream Sundae” Made in New Jersey

In an impressive feat of culinary creativity, a New Jersey ice cream shop has set a new world record for the largest ice cream sundae ever made. The colossal dessert, which was unveiled on September 10, 2024, weighed in at a staggering 27,000 pounds and was crafted to celebrate the shop’s 50th anniversary.

The ice cream sundae, created by the team at “Sweet Delight” in Paramus, New Jersey, was a spectacular sight to behold. It was made using over 12,000 pounds of vanilla ice cream, 8,000 pounds of chocolate syrup, 5,000 pounds of whipped cream, and 2,000 pounds of cherries on top. The sundae was assembled in a specially designed 60-foot-long container, which required a team of 50 people working around the clock for three days to complete.

The event attracted thousands of visitors from across the country, who came to witness the grand unveiling and partake in the festivities. The ice cream sundae was served in 5,000 individual portions, and all proceeds from the sale of the sundaes were donated to local charities supporting children’s education and food security.

Sweet Delight’s owner, Jessica Roberts, expressed her excitement about the achievement: “We wanted to do something truly memorable for our 50th anniversary, and we’re thrilled to have set this world record. It’s been an amazing experience seeing so many people come together to celebrate and support a good cause.”

The record-setting sundae has garnered widespread attention and praise from food enthusiasts and record-breaking aficionados alike. It has also sparked conversations about the potential of using large-scale food events to raise awareness and funds for important causes.

The Guinness World Records team was present to officially verify and certify the new record. The event has been featured in various media outlets and is expected to inspire other creative and charitable food challenges in the future.
