Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely in the pan.
Cut the brownie into squares. Place a brownie square in a bowl or plate, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Drizzle with chocolate sauce, add a dollop of whipped cream, sprinkle with chopped nuts if using, and top with a cherry.
Chef's Tips
- For fudgier brownies, reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
- Let brownies cool completely before cutting for clean edges.
- Try different ice cream flavors like mint chocolate chip or strawberry for variation.
- Warm the brownie slightly before assembling for a contrast with the cold ice cream.
- Make brownies ahead of time and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
