Method

Brownie Base

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Melt the Butter

    In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Combine Sugars

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix well until combined.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.

  6. 6

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

  7. 7

    Bake the Brownies

    Pour the brownie 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 a few moist crumbs.

  8. 8

    Cool the Brownies

    Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares.

Assemble the Sundae

  1. 9

    Prepare the Brownie Base

    Cut the cooled brownies into squares and place them at the bottom of a large serving dish or individual bowls.

  2. 10

    Add Ice Cream

    Place 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of each brownie square.

  3. 11

    Drizzle Chocolate Syrup

    Generously drizzle chocolate syrup over the ice cream and brownies.

  4. 12

    Add Whipped Cream

    Top with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra creamy touch.

  5. 13

    Sprinkle Nuts

    Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the whipped cream for added crunch.

  6. 14

    Garnish

    Finish with a maraschino cherry on top of each sundae.
