Brownie Cups Recipe
Ingredients
- brownie mix, I used Duncan Hines fudge brownie mix 17.6 ounces
- ingredients for the brownie mix, usually eggs, oil + water
- your favorite ice cream
- How to Make Caramel Sauce, or store bought
- sprinkles
- maraschino cherries
whipped cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Dixie Crystals granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat oven according to brownie mix box instructions. Spray nonstick muffin tin generously with nonstick baking spray.
- Mix ingredients according to brownie mix instructions. (I prefer a fudge brownie mix for this recipe).
- Add brownie batter to the prepared muffin tin with a cookie scoop. I used an OXO 3 Tablespoon cookie scoop.
- Bake according to package instructions.
- Remove pan from oven and place on a cooling rack. Using a measuring spoon, press down the middle of each brownie cup so it's indented.
- Allow the brownie cups to cool for 5 to 6 minutes in the muffin tin on the cooling rack.
- Using an angled spatula, remove the brownie cups from the muffin tin. Place the brownie cups on a piece of parchment paper on top of the cooling rack.
- Allow the brownie cups to cool and then place into an airtight container.
Make the whipped cream
- Add heavy cream, Dixie Crystals granulated sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl.
- Using an electric mixer on low, mix it until stiff peaks form. About 2 to 3 minutes. (Gradually increase the speed as you go along.)
Assemble the Brownie Sundae
- Place brownie cups in a small bowl and scoop your favorite ice cream into each brownie cup.
- Drizzle caramel and/or fudge sauce on the ice cream. Add sprinkles and/or nuts.
- Top with whipped cream and add a cherry on top!
Notes
Notes:
You can totally make the brownie cups a couple of days ahead of time, just make sure they are sealed in an airtight container. You can also freeze them. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet that will fit in your freezer, about 1/2″ apart. Allow each brownie cup to freeze for at least 30 minutes. Place into a zippered plastic bag and write the date and what's in the bag. Place back into the freezer. You can remove them one by one and allow to thaw on your counter when you're ready to eat them!
