Dusty Miller Sundae

Not many people are familiar with the Dusty Miller Sundae, also sometimes known as the Chocolate Dusty or Dusty Road. It is my favorite ice cream sundae. Well, that and the Filbert Berry Bliss. There is not much to say about it, besides the fact that it is an old-fashioned soda fountain treat that dates back to when my paternal grandfather was a "soda jerk". I knew I had some genetic predisposition to loving ice cream! Anyway, I have tried to do some research about it, but there is not much information out there about old sundaes. All I know is that it can be made with chocolate or coffee ice cream, and is topped with hot fudge and malted milk powder, hence the "dusty". The one pictured is my all-time favorite Summer treat from the Olympia Tea Room in Watch Hill, Rhode Island.
