Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 4 rich chocolate brownies (homemade or store-bought)
Toppings
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup warm toffee or caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup chocolate sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
- 1/4 cup English toffee bits or crushed chocolate-covered toffee bars
- Whipped cream
- Maraschino cherries (optional)
Instructions
- Warm the Brownies: Warm the brownies slightly in the microwave or oven until just soft, making them easier to cut and enhancing their rich texture.
- Assemble Brownie Base: Place one warmed brownie in each serving dish or bowl to serve as the base of the sundae.
- Add Ice Cream: Top each brownie with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream, providing a creamy contrast to the dense brownie.
- Drizzle Sauces: Drizzle each sundae with warm toffee or caramel sauce, followed by a swirl of chocolate sauce to add decadence and a mix of sweet flavors.
- Add Crunch: Sprinkle chopped toasted pecans or walnuts and English toffee bits over the sauces for a delightful crunchy texture.
- Finish with Toppings: Add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of each sundae, and place a maraschino cherry on top if desired for a classic finish.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the sundaes right away to enjoy the perfect combination of warm brownie, cold ice cream, and luscious toppings.
Notes
- Use salted caramel sauce for a sweet-salty contrast that enhances flavor complexity.
- Brownies can be made ahead of time and reheated just before assembling the sundaes.
- For extra indulgence, add a splash of Irish cream or espresso poured over the ice cream before adding the sauces.
