Ingredients
  

  • 4 brownies store-bought or homemade
  • 4 scoops vanilla ice cream store-bought or homemade
  • ¼ cup hot fudge
  • ¼ cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream store-bought or homemade
  • ¼ cup walnuts or other nuts, roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 4 maraschino cherries

Instructions
 

  • Purchase or make brownies.
  • Place one brownie on each of four dessert plates or in sundae glasses. 
  • Top the brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. 
  • Drizzle hot fudge and caramel sauce over the ice cream, dividing the sauces evenly among each plate. 
  • Dollop whipped cream on top of the ice cream. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and rainbow sprinkles, and garnish with a maraschino cherry.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Keep the ice cream in the freezer until just before ready to scoop. You do not want the ice cream to melt too quickly. I like to gather all of my toppings before removing the ice cream from the freezer. 
  • You can easily adapt this recipe to make more or less than four servings. A single serving is made from 1 brownie, one scoop of ice cream, and a tablespoon each of fudge and caramel sauce.
  • You can use store-bought or homemade brownies for this recipe. You can also make gluten free brownies to use for your sundaes.
  • If desired, you can gently warm the brownie and heat the ice cream sauces before assembling the sundaes. Keep in mind that adding warm things to ice cream will cause it to melt quickly.
  • Feel free to add or adjust any of the ingredients here. Try other ice cream flavors or add your favorite toppings.
