The Perfect Brownie Ice Cream Sundae

Whip up the perfect brownie ice cream sundae — rich, fudgy, and topped with all your favorites.

Ice cream sundaes are the perfect treat. They are always a huge hit in our home. Even though we don’t have them often, we really enjoy them. This one is paired with chocolatey, chewy brownies for an even better dessert. I whipped up the perfect brownie ice cream sundae as the perfect end to our meal. This dessert is filled with chocolate and love, and the perfect treat for after dinner. I love serving these at a brownie bar in the cutest ramekins for birthday parties or brunch.

Here’s a few of my top tips for making the perfect brownie ice cream sundae.

Tips for Making the Perfect Brownie Ice Cream Sundae

1. Bake the perfect brownies

A great sundae starts with a delicious brownie base. While you can use store-bought brownies in a pinch, homemade brownies take the dessert to another level. I prefer homemade brownies not only because they’re a little healthier but you have more control over the quality of ingredients that are used. Opt for a fudgy brownie recipe with a deep chocolate flavor and a slightly gooey center.

2. Choose the top ice cream

The ice cream is just as important as the brownie. Classic choices include vanilla, chocolate, or cookies and cream, but feel free to get creative. If you’re serving this up during the holidays, this homemade gingerbread ice cream is so perfect. I love topping my brownie with butter pecan, cookie dough or cookies and cream. Of course it’s more calories but it’s so delicious.

3. Add delicious toppings

Toppings are where you can truly customize your sundae. Here are some ideas to enhance your dessert:

• Sauces: Hot fudge, caramel, or berry compote
• Crunchy elements: Chopped nuts, toffee bits, or crushed cookies
• Fruity additions: Sliced bananas, strawberries, or cherries
• Extras: Sprinkles, mini marshmallows, or coconut flakes
