Individual Brownie Sundaes

Pin It

After making my individual cookie sundaes and my individual apple crisps, I had to recreate the idea in brownie form for all you chocolate lovers out there (and because Valentine's Day is coming up and this would be a perfect way to impress that special someone *wink*wink*). This mini-batch recipe for "Brownies for 2" is quick and simple to put together. The fudgy brownies bake up perfectly in individual ramekins and topped with ice cream, a cherry and the works, and you have two incredibly easy and delicious brownie sundaes great for a weekend treat for the kids or a romantic dessert for 2. The recipe also doubles easily if you want to make more.




Individual Brownie Sundaes

Yield: 2 servings (double recipe to make 4)

Ingredients
    • 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour 
    • 1/8 teaspoon salt
    • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/4 cup mix-ins (chocolate chips, chopped nuts, etc.), optional
    • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
    • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, dutch process or dark
    • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 large egg 
    • 2 scoops of ice cream or 1 batch of my 5 Minute Homemade Ice Cream (flavor of your choice)
    • Toppings of your choice; whipped cream, chocolate syrup, sprinkles, cherry, etc.



    Directions
     

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 7oz. ramekins ramekins with nonstick spray (mine were 3 1/4" wide and 2" tall).

    In a small bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder and mix-ins (chocolate chips, chopped nuts, etc.); set aside. Melt butter in a small saucepan. Over low heat add the cocoa, and sugar, stirring until smooth and sugar has started to dissolve. Remove from heat and stir for a about minute to cool mixture. Add the vanilla and egg. Stir vigorously for about 1 minute until batter is no longer grainy and becomes thick, smooth and shiny. Gently fold in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Divide batter between the two ramekins.

    Bake for about 23-28 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs sticking to it. Center of brownies will set upon cooling. Do not over bake.

    Note: I baked mine in a toaster oven for convenience since there were only 2, but a regular oven works just as well.




    Cool brownies slightly on a wire rack. Top warm brownies with ice cream and toppings of your choice. Serve immediately. 



    Enjoy!
