Brownie Sundae Recipe

Introduction

Brownie Sundaes are a delightful treat combining warm, fudgy brownies with cold, creamy ice cream and rich hot fudge. This easy dessert is perfect for satisfying any sweet tooth and can be customized with your favorite toppings.

A clear glass dessert bowl holds a layered dessert starting with a base of smooth, dark chocolate sauce. Above this is a layer of white vanilla ice cream mixed with some chocolate sauce swirls. On top, there are chunks of rich, dark brown brownie, adding a rough texture. The dessert is finished with a large scoop of white vanilla ice cream at the top, drizzled with glossy dark brown chocolate syrup that flows down onto the brownie pieces. The bowl sits on a folded beige cloth with a silver spoon next to it, all placed on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 4 fudgy brownies (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 cups vanilla or chocolate ice cream
  • 1 cup hot fudge sauce
  • Whipped cream
  • Chopped nuts (optional)
  • Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place one brownie in each bowl or sundae glass. Warm the brownies slightly if desired for a better contrast with the ice cream.
  2. Step 2: Top each brownie with a generous scoop of ice cream.
  3. Step 3: Warm the hot fudge sauce until smooth and pour it over the ice cream.
  4. Step 4: Garnish with whipped cream, chopped nuts, chocolate shavings, or sprinkles to your liking.
  5. Step 5: Serve immediately and enjoy the combination of warm brownie and cold ice cream.

Tips & Variations

  • Warm brownies just before assembling to enhance the contrast between warm and cold.
  • Try different ice cream flavors like chocolate, coffee, or mint for variety.
  • Add a cherry on top for a classic diner-style finish.
  • Use leftover brownies to make quick and delicious sundaes.

Storage

Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for longer storage. Prepare the sundae just before serving for the best texture. Leftover assembled sundaes are not recommended for storage as ice cream will melt and brownies will lose their texture.

How to Serve

A clear glass dessert dish with three layers: the bottom layer is dark, glossy chocolate sauce, the middle layer is white vanilla ice cream with a creamy texture, and the top layer has two chunky pieces of dark brown chocolate brownie with a slightly crumbly texture. On top of the brownies, there is a large scoop of white vanilla ice cream, drizzled with thick dark chocolate syrup that runs down the ice cream and brownies. The dish sits on a white cloth napkin on a white marbled surface, next to a silver spoon. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
