Brownie sundae
Brownies with ice cream are called by different names in different places. In America, a brownie served with ice cream, hot syrup, and ice cream is called a brownie sundae. In India, it is served on a hot sizzler plate and is called sizzler brownie, sizzling brownie, death by chocolate, hot fudge brownie, etc. All means the same.
You can use fresh homemade brownies or store-bought brownies. I have shared a recipe for eggless brownies with nut butter or seed butter. You can check our classic peanut butter brownies and vegan chocolate brownies and use the same in this recipe.
To make a sundae or brownie sizzler: Once the brownie is ready, place a brownie slice on a hot cast iron serving plate, top it with a scoop of ice cream, and garnish with chopped or sliced nuts of your choice and a generous drizzle of melted chocolate. As soon as the melted chocolate hits the hot cast iron plate, it sizzles and creates a festive atmosphere. The aroma of sizzling chocolate sauce will make you go crazy. So make sure you plate it just before you are ready to serve to impress your guests or your loved ones.
Ingredients
For eggless brownies
Butter: Salted or unsalted, both work fine. If using slated ones, skip the salt from the recipe.
Sugar: Use regular white sugar. You can use ½ white and ½ brown. The color and texture will vary accordingly.
Cocoa powder: Unsweetened one should be used.
Milk: I have used whole milk. For a vegan version, use the dairy-free milk of your choice.
Flour: Regular, plain, all-purpose flour for this recipe.
