Sometimes I can’t think of anything to say, which is why most people perceive me as quiet. I’ve been struggling to come up with this post for these Deep Dish Hot Fudge Brownie Sundaes. Sure, I could’ve been mainstream and said this is the perfect dessert to end your Valentine’s Day dinner because it’s decadent and only makes two. Or I could’ve boo hooed about how I’m alone for love day and plop myself on the couch eating both of these while watching sappy romantic movies and crying in between bites. But neither are true. I have no date and I’m not going to cry. So here I am back to square one with nothing to say except that these Deep Dish Hot Fudge Brownie Sundaes are so rich and decadent, it’s every chocoholic’s dream.
Ying and yang. That’s how chocolate and vanilla works. You either love chocolate or you love vanilla. Very rarely do you see someone go crazy over both. But pair them together and you have another story. When something is so sinful and chocolatey, it’s begging for vanilla. And when a hot fudgy brownie is fresh from the oven, it’s screaming out for cold vanilla ice cream. It’s only a crime if you don’t.
As I said at the beginning, this recipe makes two brownie sundaes. Make it for date night or save the extra one for later. Or if you multiply the recipe, make several batches and have a sundae party. Set out different dessert sauces and toppings. Just don’t hold me responsible for the sugar rush.
Deep Dish Hot Fudge Brownie Sundaes For Two
Author: Carla Cardello (www.chocolatemoosey.com)
Serves: 2 brownie sundaes
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/2 ounce unsweetened chocolate
- 1/2 cup + 2 teaspoons semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup flour
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Have two 6-ounce ramekins ready.
- In a medium heatproof bowl, add the butter, unsweetened chocolate, and 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Place the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water (bowl should not touch) and stir until everything is smooth and melted. Remove the bowl from the pan and let cool.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and sugar until thickened and color lightens. Whisk in the melted chocolate then whisk in salt, vanilla, and flour.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two ramekins. Place 1 teaspoon chocolate chips into the middle of each brownie; press the chips lightly into the batter. Bake 15-20 minutes or until the tops look dry and crisp. Let cool for 15 minutes then serve with vanilla ice cream.

Thanks Robin!
Carla,
I must get ramekins. I’m working at the thrift store today and I’ll cross my fingers that 6 ounce ramekins will be on the clearance shelf waiting for me.
I like what you finally ended up writing–sometimes it’s good to just go with honesty and let your amazing photos and delicious recipe do the talking.
Thanks!
You work at the thrift store?! Man that must be dangerous! I usually see ramekins a lot there so *crossesfingers* Thanks Kirsten!
I here by release you from any harm that I may incur eating both of these Sundaes. Don’t think won’t share I just see that I’ll have to make a triple batch so the whole family can have one and that will leave one extra for me!
Phew! Glad you left me off the hook with that ;) Thanks Joan!
I’m flying solo this Valentine’s Day but I’m pretty sure I’m going to make both of these. And eat both, too. :)
Hey nothing wrong with that! That’s what us solo girls do ;) Thanks Stephanie!
You had me with rich and decadent! Hhhhmmm…it only makes 2 huh? I better make them during the day…no one will be home to share with :-)
Oh good idea ;) Thanks Jocelyn!
So beautious! I am in loooove with these!
Who needs men when you have chocolate?
How about men making these chocolate brownies? haha thanks Kayle!
Here’s the thing, do I need to share? :-)
Hey I won’t tell ;) Thanks Susan!
Awesome! The right dessert for the two of us. An indulgence one night and no leftovers – yea!
Although I wouldn’t complain if there were leftovers for the next day haha thanks Renee!
I would eat both for sure. This is like, brownie fabulous!
I may or may not have done that….. haha thanks Dorothy!
lol, Carla, no words are necessary when you’ve got deep dish hot fudge brownies. I appreciated your words cause they make me laugh as you always do, but in this case, a picture is worth a thousand words and I could stare at your photos all day long. Of course, then I’d have to make these and I WOULD eat them all by myself since my crazy husband doesn’t like chocolate (scratch that – thank God he doesn’t like chocolate so I can have these all to myself).
Oh man I’m not sure what I’d do if I ever marry someone who doesn’t like chocolate (who am I kidding? I’d eat all the chocolate myself). Thanks Nancy!
So beautiful and so delicious!
Thanks Medeja!
Oh my… I think I would want to eat both. For breakfast. Why wait?! ;)
Oh yes I like your thinking!! Thanks Rachael!
Um, Yes. So much yes. I will take both for myself, thank you very much!!! Happy valentines, lady!
I’m a little late, but Happy Valentine’s Day right back at you, Mallory!
I just bookmarked your deep dish chocolate chip cookies and now here we are again! I don’t know which one to make first :)
Simple. Make them both at the same time. Problem solved! haha Thanks Shannon!
As long as I don’t triple the recipe, this might serve as portion control ;) The vanilla ice cream puts these over the top.
Portion control, what’s that? ;) I love the vanilla ice cream too since it balances the fudginess. Thanks Wendy!
I know it’s that time of the year when you have to share with your loved one(s) but I’m pretty sure I’d have a hard time sharing these. They look and sound so good Carla!
Thanks for sharing and thank you for the lovely comment left on my guest post on Jen’s blog
