SKILLET BROWNIE SUNDAES (SMALL BATCH)

Read...

Skillet Brownie Sundaes!  These mini skillets are filled with warm fudgy brownies loaded with chunks of chocolate and topped with ice cream, chocolate syrup, sprinkles and of course the cherry on top!  Perfect small batch dessert for two!


The brownie recipe is adapted from the recipe I used for the Strawberry Cheesecake Brownies.  Except this time around I wanted them extra gooey.  So I added melted chocolate to the batter.  And extra large chocolate chunks.  Just to make sure there would be enough chocolate.

The brownie recipe makes just enough to fill up two 5 inch cast iron skillets.  I say this recipe is made for 2 since the skillets are small.  But honestly once you load the brownie up with all the good stuff on top two people could probably share one, if you're into sharing that is.

You could also enjoy the brownie all on it's own.  But I highly recommend adding at least the ice cream on top.  There's just something about the combination of warm brownie topped with ice cream that makes everything right in the world.


INGREDIENTS
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 ounces semi sweet chocolate
  • 1//2 cup light brown sugar

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add chocolate to medium size mixing bowl.
  2. Place the butter into a small bowl and melt with a quick trip into a microwave. Pour the melted butter over the chocolate.

If needed heat in microwave at 10 second increments stirring in between until all chocolate is melted and there are no lumps.

  6. Prepare the 5 inch cast iron skillets by spraying with baking spray. Divide the brownie batter between the two skillets.
  7. Place the skillets on a large baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes or until done. Don't overbake! We want our brownies gooey.
