Chunks of soft gooey brownie layered into a glass and drizzled with hot fudge sauce. Then topped with ice cream and layered with more brownie chunks. You want to reach for the hot fudge sauce again and drizzle some more over the brownies. Next top with whipped cream and then finish off this sundae with a drizzle of hot fudge sauce. Don’t forget the cherry on top.
It is meant to be spring, but are we having spring like weather. Err, No!! Can the weather be at least consistent. Picking clothes for work has become annoying. Last week we had one day when it was really really warm, like summer warm and then the next day it was rain rain rain. Plus cold. Super annoying. Yesterday as well it was really warm and then today some more rain. Well you know what is needed during rainy miserable days like these, hot fudgy brownie sundaes. I baked me a fresh batch of soft gooey brownies, really can’t seem to get enough of these brownies. They are that good. Whilst the brownies baked I got started on the homemade hot fudge sauce. This recipe is adapted from Brown Eyed Baker.
It is rich, thick , creamy and absolutely perfect for drizzling over the brownies. Made with chocolate, cocoa and chocolate liquor this homemade fudge is chocolatey. Best of all it is quick and easy to make. It takes 5 minutes to whip up this jar of goodness. Once you make this hot fudge sauce, there will be no buying of the shop made stuff ever.
Putting together this dessert is very simple, it doesn’t follow any assemble instructions. You can layer with as much brownies, hot fudge sauce , ice cream and whipped cream. Whatever you do, do not skimp on the fudge sauce. It is that good.

Other Sauces
This looks SO good! I have always loved hot fudge sundaes. I love how you layered everything in the jar so you can see all of the goodness. I’ve really gotten into making banana “ice cream” lately (frozen bananas pureed in a food processor until they reach ice cream consistency). I think I can justify this dessert since the “ice cream” is healthy, right? Plus, chocolate and bananas…yeah!
Thank you Sandra. Banana ice cream is healthy. Love the idea of banana ice cream and chocolate. Yum!!!
