Ingredients
  

Fudgy Brownie Base
  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
Assembly & Toppings
  • 12 scoops vanilla bean ice cream
  • 1.5 cups hot fudge sauce warmed
  • 1 cup chopped chocolate candy bars e.g., Snickers or peanut butter cups

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Serving bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Whisk melted butter and sugar together. Vigorously whisk in eggs and vanilla until shiny.
  3. Fold in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick has moist crumbs. Cool slightly before cutting.
  5. To assemble, place a warm brownie square in a bowl.
  6. Top with a scoop of ice cream, drizzle generously with warm hot fudge, and sprinkle with chopped candy.
  7. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

For the best experience, ensure the brownies are warm and the hot fudge is hot when serving to create the perfect melting contrast with the cold ice cream.
