Make the Chocolate Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup of water, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat while stirring continuously until it comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Allow to cool slightly.
Prepare the Sundae Base: In serving bowls or sundae glasses, place two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream (or chocolate) at the bottom.
Add the Chocolate Sauce: Drizzle 1/4 cup of the warm chocolate sauce over the ice cream scoops.
Layer with Whipped Cream: Spoon a generous dollop of whipped cream over the chocolate sauce.
Repeat the Layers: For an even more indulgent treat, repeat the layering process.
Final Touches: Sprinkle chocolate chips and chopped nuts on top of the whipped cream. Finish with a maraschino cherry.
