Brownie ice cream sundae

Ingredients:

For the Brownies:

• 1 1/3 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons water
• 1 (12 ounce) bag semi-sweet (OR DARK!!!) chocolate chips
• 4 eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 teaspoons vanilla

For the Sundaes:

• 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream per sundae
• 2 tablespoons hot fudge per sundae
• whipped cream
• chopped peanuts (optional) and sprinkles

Instructions:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 325°F. Butter a 9 X 9 baking dish, line with parchment paper, and then butter the parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and whisk in the sugar and water. Cook until the sugar is dissolved. Take care not to brown the butter.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted.
5. Very gradually mix in the eggs, starting with just a little, whisking in completely, and then adding a little more. This lets the eggs temper and not curdle in the warm chocolate. Stir in the vanilla.
6. Mix in the flour mixture.
7. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes. The brownies will puff up in the oven, but they’ll fall some when they cool.
8. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting.
9. To make the sundaes, add a little dab of hot fudge into the bottom of a sundae dish. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a few tablespoons of hot fudge, whipped cream, nuts, and sprinkles.
