👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a medium bowl:
- Combine melted butter and sugar.
- Whisk until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
- Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
- Gently fold the mixture until just combined.
- Do not overmix — this keeps the brownies fudgy.
Step 4: Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Spread evenly.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes.
- The center should still be slightly soft for a gooey texture.
Step 5: Cool Slightly
Let brownies cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
For the ultimate dessert experience, serve them while still warm.
🍨 Assembly — The Perfect Formation
- Place a warm brownie square on a serving plate.
- Add a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
- Watch it melt beautifully over the chocolate.
- Drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired.
- Finish with whipped cream, nuts, or chocolate shavings.
The combination of warm brownie and cold ice cream creates layers of texture — fudgy, creamy, silky, and slightly crisp edges.
📖 A Little History
Brownies originated in the United States in the late 19th century. One popular story says they were created by accident when a baker forgot to add baking powder to a chocolate cake. Instead of a fluffy cake, a dense, rich chocolate bar was born — and the world loved it.
The pairing of brownies with ice cream became popular in American diners and restaurants, often called a “Brownie Sundae.” It quickly became a comfort dessert classic.

- For extra fudgy brownies: Slightly underbake them.
