Ingredients

  • Sundae:6 small squares of chocolate brownies
  • 1/4 cup warm bittersweet chocolate sauce
  • 1 cup vanilla ice cream
  • 2 Tbs chopped, salted pecans
  • 6 fresh bing cherries with stem attached
  • Chocolate Brownies:1 1/2 oz semisweet baking chocolate
  • 1 oz unsweetened chocolate
  • 3/4 cup butter

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup cake flour
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Directions

  • Sundae:Arrange 3 brownie squares on each of two serving plates or shallow bowls. Top each square with a small scoop of ice cream. Drizzle chocolate sauce over ice cream and brownies. Sprinkle nuts over the top. Top each scoop of ice cream with a cherry and serve.
  • Chocolate Brownies:Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter and flour a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Melt the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler then let cool. In a small bowl beat eggs and sugar until light in color and add to the chocolate mixture. In another bowl sift together the flour, salt and baking powder; add to the chocolate mixture along with the vanilla and nuts. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
