Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips or chunks
  • 3–4 scoops (about 1 cup or 240ml) chocolate ice cream
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) chocolate sauce (see below)
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
  • Chopped nuts or chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
  • Chocolate Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 4 oz (115g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray and line with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy, about 1-2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder (if using), and salt. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients using a rubber spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in chocolate chips or chunks.
  5. Pour batter evenly into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 22–26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  6. Cool brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  7. To make chocolate sauce: Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and add chopped bittersweet chocolate and corn syrup. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and set aside.
  8. Assemble sundae by cutting brownies into squares. Place one brownie square in a bowl or sundae glass, add a scoop of chocolate ice cream on top, drizzle generously with warm chocolate sauce, and finish with whipped cream and nuts or chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix brownie batter to avoid cakey texture. Use espresso powder to enhance chocolate flavor without coffee taste. Warm chocolate sauce gently if it thickens before serving. Brownies can be baked ahead and stored at room temperature for 3 days or frozen for 2 months. Assemble sundaes just before serving to keep ice cream from melting.
