Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownies:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

For the Sundae:

  • 4 cups vanilla ice cream (or your favorite flavor)
  • Chocolate sauce (for drizzling)
  • Caramel sauce (for drizzling)
  • Whipped cream
  • Chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans, optional)
  • Maraschino cherries (for topping)
  • Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder to evenly distribute the leavening agents and cocoa.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the melted butter mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender brownie texture.
  5. Bake the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  6. Cut Brownies: Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares suitable for serving in individual bowls or glasses.
  7. Scoop Ice Cream: Place a square of brownie at the bottom of each serving dish, then top with a generous scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream.
  8. Drizzle Sauces: Drizzle chocolate sauce and caramel sauce over the ice cream generously for a rich flavor contrast.
  9. Add Toppings: Finish each sundae with a dollop of whipped cream, chopped nuts for crunch if desired, a maraschino cherry on top, and optionally chocolate shavings or sprinkles to enhance presentation and texture.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect combination of warm, fudgy brownie and cold, creamy ice cream with delicious toppings.

Notes

  • Make sure the brownies are completely cooled before assembling the sundaes to prevent melting the ice cream too quickly.
  • You can substitute the vanilla ice cream with any flavor of your choice to customize the sundae.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the chopped nuts.
  • Prepare sauces ahead of time or use store-bought for convenience.
  • Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
