Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking pan lightly with butter or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
  3. Sift cocoa powder, flour, and salt together in another bowl.
  4. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture using a spatula. Fold in walnuts or chocolate chips if using.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are set but center is slightly soft.
  6. While brownies bake, combine cocoa powder, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Stir in heavy cream and butter. Heat over medium-low, stirring constantly until smooth and slightly thickened (5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  7. Let brownies cool at least 10 minutes. Cut into bite-sized squares.
  8. Scoop vanilla ice cream into bowls, add brownie pieces, and drizzle generously with warm chocolate sauce.

Notes

Do not overbake the brownies to keep them fudgy. Sift dry ingredients to avoid lumps. Make chocolate sauce low and slow to prevent bitterness. Use room temperature eggs for smooth batter. Reheat chocolate sauce gently if it thickens. Let brownies cool before assembling to avoid melting ice cream.
