Twisting on the ultra-popular freak shakes, this Freak Ice Cream Sundae is loaded with a warm Belgian waffle, Chips Ahoy! Hershey’s cookies packed with Hershey’s and Reese’s candy, and a multitude of candy and goodies, making it the ULTIMATE DESSERT!
When it comes to treats in this house – we are all about the presentation. Not only do we like our recipes to taste great, but they need to really pull you in and make you want to eat it too.
Dessert is no exception. So in an effort to make family time more memorable and fun, we created this super delicious Freak Ice Cream Sundae to share on a hot summer evening.
This post is sponsored by NABISCO, but all opinions are my own.
There’s this place we used to go to back in the town we used to live in. They had these over-the-top ice cream desserts called Gooey’s. They are “the treat” to get when in town. It was the one thing we would go get as a family for any special occasion.
We have since moved and we certainly don’t want to drive 2 hours for a sundae. But we still have a lot of really special events happening this summer and we wanted to celebrate. So we decided to make our own.

Like I do before any celebration, I shopped on my Walmart app and then headed on over to pick up my order. While browsing toppings for our ultimate sundaes I noticed that Chips Ahoy! had some varieties that include Hershey’s and Reese’s. I knew I just had to have them.
I mean, Chips Ahoy! is already a staple in our road trip snack list. So of course we want to add them to our dessert. It was a no-brainer.

How many does this serve?
This sundae as shown is meant for a group. 4 out of the 5 of us shared it as a family. You can always scale this back, make individual sundaes and add the same toppings if you don’t want to share from the same sundae.
This dessert is really versatile, you can make it as big or as small as you need it to be for your event.

Ingredients for Freak Ice Cream Sundae
- ice cream – any flavor you like
- chocolate syrup
- brownies
- Belgian waffle – warm
- Chips Ahoy! Hershey’s flavors cookies – any variety
- Reese’s peanut butter cups
- Reese’s Pieces
- Hershey’s minis
- Whipped Cream
- Maraschino Cherries
How to make a Freak Ice Cream Sundae
- Start by portioning out 3-5 large scoops of ice cream on a paper plate.
- Place the scoops back in the freezer and chill for at least 1-2 hours. This helps those scoops to harden individually – so the sundae melts slower while you assemble it. (you can also chill your serving goblet at this time if desired)
- Once the ice cream has firmed up it is time to assemble.
- Start by drizzling a little bit of chocolate syrup on the inside of the goblet – making sure it is sticking around the top and sides of the glass. It will drip down as it sits, creating a marbled effect.
- Then place one of the brownies in the bottom of the glass.
- Add in the scoops of ice cream and the waffle. You can either add the waffle whole, or cut it in half.
- Then cut the other brownie into bite-sized pieces and stuff those into the open holes on the sundae.
- Now it is time to add the cookies, peanut butter cups, Hershey’s minis, and Reese’s Pieces – placing as many as you like into any space they will fit into.
- Top with more chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and a cherry before serving.

What serving dish do you recommend?
For this dessert, when making it for sharing, you will want a large goblet or bowl. We have even made this in those large disposable foil pans when we were camping. That made clean up super easy. But any large container will do – get creative and have fun with your selection. Just make sure it is food-grade before starting.
Where can I find Chips Ahoy! Hershey’s cookies?
The best place to find these packages of Chips Ahoy! Hershey’s cookies is at Walmart. You can pick them up during your weekly shopping run like I do. Be sure to also check out the Ibotta offer for additional savings on the already low prices found at Walmart.
