Brownie Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    Melt the Butter

    In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    Stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of brown sugar into the melted butter until well combined. Then mix in 3 large eggs and 1 tsp of vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of cocoa powder, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, and 1 tsp of salt.

  5. 5

    Combine Wet and Dry

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

  6. 6

    Bake the Brownies

    Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Allow to cool.

Assemble the Sundae

  1. 7

    Cut Brownies

    Once the brownies are completely cool, cut them into squares.

  2. 8

    Layer the Sundae

    In serving bowls, place a brownie square at the bottom. Top with 1 cup of vanilla ice cream per bowl.

  3. 9

    Add Toppings

    Drizzle chocolate syrup generously over the ice cream, and if desired, sprinkle with chopped nuts and add a dollop of whipped cream on top.

  4. 10

    Serve

    Serve immediately and enjoy your Maryland Sundae for two!
