Indulge in a classic dessert with this Brownie Sundae recipe featuring fudgy brownies topped with creamy vanilla or chocolate ice cream, drizzled with hot fudge sauce, and finished with a cloud of whipped cream and optional crunchy nuts and chocolate shavings.

Ingredients

Brownie Sundae Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownies: Cut the fudgy brownies into individual squares, ensuring they are uniform for serving.
  2. Assemble Brownie Base: Place one brownie square in each serving bowl or dish to form the base of your sundae.
  3. Add Ice Cream: Scoop approximately 1 cup of vanilla or chocolate ice cream and place it on top of each brownie square.
  4. Drizzle Hot Fudge: Generously drizzle 1 cup of hot fudge sauce over the ice cream, allowing it to cascade over the edges.
  5. Top with Whipped Cream: Add a dollop of whipped cream atop each sundae for a creamy finish.
  6. Add Optional Toppings: Sprinkle with chopped nuts and chocolate shavings or sprinkles if desired for added texture and flavor.
  7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your decadent brownie sundae right away to experience the perfect temperature contrast and rich flavors.

Notes

  • Using warm hot fudge sauce creates a beautiful contrast with cold ice cream.
  • Feel free to substitute nuts with other toppings like caramel sauce or fruit for variations.
  • For best texture, serve immediately after assembly to prevent ice cream from melting excessively.
  • Homemade brownies offer the best flavor, but store-bought brownies work well for convenience.
