Chocolate Brownie Sundae
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 3/4 cup of unsalted butter
- 1 and 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup of hot fudge sauce
- 1/4 cup of chopped nuts (optional)
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt 3/4 cup of butter. Add 1 and 1/2 cups of sugar and mix well.
- Add 3 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To assemble the sundaes, cut the brownies into squares and place one in each serving dish. Top each brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle with hot fudge sauce, and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.
- Finish with a dollop of whipped cream and serve immediately.
