Description

Chocolate Brownie Sundae is a warm, fudgy brownie topped with cold, creamy ice cream and drizzled with rich chocolate or caramel sauce, delivering a contrast of textures and flavors that makes it an irresistible dessert favorite.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips or chunks
  • Vanilla ice cream (or flavor of choice)
  • Chocolate or caramel sauce
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, whipped cream, maraschino cherries, sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and stir in cocoa powder until smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined.
  4. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just mixed, then fold in chocolate chips.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until set but fudgy. Let cool slightly before cutting.
  6. To assemble the sundae, place a warm brownie on a serving dish.
  7. Top with one or two scoops of ice cream.
  8. Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce.
  9. Add optional toppings like nuts, whipped cream, cherries, or sprinkles. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use boxed brownie mix for quicker prep.
  • For a gooey brownie, slightly underbake and let cool briefly before serving.
  • Add peanut butter or espresso powder for flavor variations.
  • Create a sundae bar for parties with different toppings and ice cream options.
  • Layer in a glass for a parfait-style presentation.
