Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 cups vanilla ice cream

1 cup whipped cream

Chocolate syrup, for drizzling

Crushed graham crackers, for garnish

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the strawberries and let them sit for 10-15 minutes to macerate, allowing their natural juices to form a syrup.

    In serving bowls or tall glasses, scoop about 1 cup of vanilla ice cream into each serving dish.

      Spoon the macerated strawberry mixture generously over the ice cream, ensuring each scoop is covered.

        Top each sundae with a generous dollop of whipped cream.

          Drizzle chocolate syrup over the whipped cream for an indulgent touch.

            Sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top to add crunch and texture.

              Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and a refreshing aroma.

                Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
