Tips for the Best Brownie Sundae

  • Make the brownies a day ahead—they taste even fudgier the next day.
  • Warm the brownie before serving for extra gooeyness.
  • Drizzle caramel sauce along with chocolate sauce for a richer flavor.
  • Use a combination of toppings like peanut butter drizzle or mini marshmallows.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Make it gluten-free: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
  • Dairy-free option: Use vegan ice cream and dairy-free brownies.
  • Try different ice cream flavors: Salted caramel, coffee, or cookies & cream!
  • Swap nuts for sprinkles if you prefer a nut-free sundae.
