Bl. Carlo Acutis Nutella Sundaes

Carlo Acutis is a millennial blessed, born in Italy in 1991. He died of cancer at the age of fifteen. We know that (in addition to Mass and the sacraments) he liked playing soccer and video games, and that his favorite treats were Nutella and ice cream. We also know that he practiced temperance, voluntarily limiting himself to one hour of video games per week and scheduling his favorite treats for special occasions only. Now that’s heroic sanctity! I don’t know if Carlo ever combined his favorite treats into a sundae, but I decided to try it, and it’s . . . amazing. But only for special occasions.
