Ice Cream Sundae



I mixed up my favorite brownies. I like to use dark cocoa but it's not necessary.


The wax paper was a total fail. Do NOT use wax paper. 
Thank you.

After peeling off the wax paper I dug through my tupperware drawer looking for something small and round to cut out the brownies. A salt and pepper shaker was perfect!



I soon left Mia take over the cutting out job.


And of course the next steps involve scooping ice cream and cooled off hot fudge. 
I added some cookie crumbs on top of the hot fudge layer. Yum. 
The ice cream was melting pretty fast so I forgot to take pictures. It would be better to assemble 12 at a time instead of 36. 
Olive was a big help by being sweet. 


Nate was helping too. We need snow removal.


Here we go!
Yum.

Don't forget the layer of cool whip.



We were the last stop for a progressive supper with our Youth Group.


 Best Basic Brownie
  • 1 cup Butter
  • 2 cups White Sugar
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ⅔ cups Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup Flour
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Powder

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 pan.
Melt butter. Remove from heat and add ingredients in the order listed, stirring well by hand.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. Do not overbake.
Cut with a plastic knife (best brownie trick).
It’d also be great to make these using black cocoa.

  1. What fun! With my husband being a youth pastor for several years, this brought back fond memories. Progressive dinners were so much fun. What a treat for the youth! I need to try out that hot fudge recipe!
