January has been a dull month for us. No sunshine at all. Blankets of snow have covered our State, and it looks like a Winter Wonderland – Mounds of shiny white snow all around us! To some of you, snow, ice, and crisp cold may seem frightful, but we love it. We look forward to winter sports like snow tubing, sledding, and skiing. Besides the outdoor activities, it is the perfect weather to snuggle up under a warm blanket and enjoy a warm gooey dessert. So, to help you brace this winter weather, I have an amazingly delicious dessert – Vegan Brownie Icecream Sundae cups!
Imagine a moist, steaming hot brownie cup adorned with luscious vanilla ice cream, drizzled with chocolate syrup which slowly drips down, cascading its way across the edges. Sounds heavenly, right? It sure does! It indeed is a sight to behold. It is a dessert to be savored, with every bite rolling around your mouth coating it in the pleasant taste it exudes! The brownie itself is spongy and velvety, completely soaked in the delicious mixture of chocolate syrup and your favorite ice cream. This sure is the ultimate snow day treat that will warm you inside out. ?
How to make a Brownie Sundae Cup?
Start by brownie cups first. To make these cups, prepare the brownie batter and pour it into a greased muffin tray. Fill each muffin mold 2/3 full. Bake until done. When the brownies are baked, remove from the oven and immediately press the bottom of a small plastic bottle into each brownie. It will look like a small crater/indent inside a brownie. Make the indent on a hot brownie and do not let the brownie cool down. After the brownies have cooled, run a spatula or butter knife around each brownie cup and remove it from the pan.
How long does it take to bake a Brownie Sundae cup?
It takes about 25-28 minutes to bake these brownie cups. In this baking time, these cups become firm along the edges but stay moist and fudgy in the center. After that, the recipe is pretty simple. Fill the center of each brownie with a scoop of your favorite ice cream, drizzle chocolate sauce, top with a maraschino cherry and some sprinkles for fun! This cute and adorable individual serving dessert make a perfect party treat!
Tips to consider, What could possibly go wrong!
This is a fail-proof recipe, but if some steps are not followed correctly, then it could turn into a mess. Therefore, I emphasize that please go through these tips. Coat the inside of the pan generously with oil. Do not avoid this step or else the brownies will stick to the pan making it difficult to remove. Use a light-colored metal pan to bake the brownies. Lighter pans bake the perfect brownies that are firm on the edges and soft and gooey in the center. With dark colored containers, you will end up overcooking or even burning the sides of your brownies. But if you were to use a dark-colored pan, then reduce the temperature by 25 degrees and bake until done. To prevent drying – cover the baked brownies all the way around to the edge with an aluminum foil. If left exposed, they will dry out quickly, and the brownies will become hard on the edges. Wait for 2-3 minutes after baking and then cover them well. Remove the brownies from the pan, once they are comfortable enough to touch and slightly cooled. If you try to remove them while they are still hot, they will crumble.
