A quick and indulgent dessert combining fudgy brownies, creamy ice cream, and rich chocolate sauce layered in individual cups, perfect for Father’s Day or any special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box of brownie mix (about 18 oz / 510 g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
  • 1/2 cup (90 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups (480 ml) vanilla or chocolate ice cream, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) chocolate sauce or hot fudge
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) crushed nuts like pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
  • Mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)
  • Fresh berries like raspberries or strawberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. Mix the brownie batter according to the box instructions: combine the brownie mix, eggs, oil, and water in a bowl. Stir until just combined but don’t overmix. Fold in 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  3. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
  4. Cool the brownies in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. Assemble the sundae cups: Spoon a tablespoon of chocolate sauce into the bottom of each cup. Add a small brownie piece on top, then a scoop of softened ice cream (about 2 tablespoons). Repeat layers if cups are tall.
  6. Top with more chocolate sauce, crushed nuts, mini chocolate chips or shavings, whipped cream, and a pinch of sea salt if desired.
  7. Serve immediately or store in the freezer until ready to enjoy. If frozen, let sit out for 5-10 minutes to soften before serving.

Notes

Avoid overbaking brownies to keep them fudgy. Soften ice cream slightly before layering for neat cups. Warm chocolate sauce just enough to drizzle smoothly without melting ice cream. Use parchment liners for easy cleanup. A pinch of sea salt on top enhances chocolate flavor.
