Brownie Ice Cream Sundae Cones
We never really need an excuse to indulge in some ice cream, but I will say that during the summer months, when it becomes unbearably hot outside, that’s when we really, really need it. These Brownie Ice Cream Sundae Cones are a riff on the sundaes I would eat as a kid at Sizzler. I’d pile on brownie bites with whipped cream and lots of sprinkles. I felt like we all needed to remember our childhood, and what better way than with an over-the-top ice cream treat to cool us down this summer? If these cones aren’t inspiration enough, however, then maybe this banana split ice cream pie will do the trick. This summer, it’s all about ice cream, ice cream, ICE CREAM.
This is a great summer time dessert and a real crowd pleaser, since we’re all kids at heart. Plus, what’s better than a brownie sundae in portable form? I hope you keep this dessert in mind the next time you’re in need of a fun treat this summe.
Brownie Ice Cream Sundae Cones
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Mixing bowl
- Piping bag with tip
Ingredients
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate roughly chopped
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter diced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or hazelnut liqueur
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 15 ice cream cones
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup sweetened whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles
- 1/4 cup maraschino cherries drained
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Stand the cones up on a baking sheet, lining them up in five rows of three, set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and butter. Microwave in short 15-second bursts, stirring after each, until melted through and glossy. Allow to cool slightly, then whisk in the sugar, eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour and salt, until just combined. Do not over-mix. Divide the batter evenly among the cones and bake until tops are set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 20 to 22 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
- Just before serving, top each with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
