- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 2 scoops chocolate ice cream
- For the Brownies (or use store-bought):
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 1/4 tsp salt
- For Toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate syrup

Instructions
- Make the Brownies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan. In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Mix until combined. Pour batter into pan and bake for 20–25 minutes. Let cool completely and cut into cubes.
- Assemble the Sundae: In a tall sundae glass, layer brownie cubes at the bottom. Add one scoop each of chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Add more brownie pieces around the sides. Top with an additional scoop of ice cream if desired.
- Decorate & Serve: Top with whipped cream, drizzle with chocolate syrup, and garnish with wafer rolls and brownie chunks. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Swap ice cream flavors like coffee or salted caramel for a twist.
- Add nuts like pecans or walnuts to the brownie batter for extra texture.
- Top with caramel sauce or a sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor.
- Use store-bought brownies to save time.
- Make a boozy version with Baileys or Kahlúa over the ice cream.
