Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- 1/2 cup root beer
- 3 scoops vanilla ice cream
- Whipped cream for topping
- Chocolate syrup for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box, typically around 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix with the root beer. Stir the mixture until just combined, ensuring there are no dry patches of brownie mix.
- Prepare a baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. A 9x9 inch pan works well for this recipe.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for the time specified on the brownie mix box, usually around 25 to 30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the brownies are completely cool, cut them into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
- To assemble the Root Beer Float Brownie Sundaes, place one brownie square in a serving bowl.
- Top the brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, allowing it to melt slightly into the brownie.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup over the ice cream and brownie for added sweetness and flavor.
- Finish the sundae by adding a generous dollop of whipped cream on top.
- Optionally, you can garnish with additional chocolate syrup or even a cherry on top for a classic sundae look.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious All American Root Beer Float Brownie Sundaes!
Tips
- Use a high-quality root beer for the most intense flavor. Craft or small-batch root beers work best for adding depth to your brownie mix.
- Don't overmix the brownie batter when adding root beer. Stir just until combined to keep the brownies moist and tender.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before assembling sundaes to prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly.
- For an extra touch of indulgence, slightly warm the brownies before adding ice cream to create a delightful temperature contrast.
- Chill your serving dishes beforehand to keep the sundae cooler for longer and create a more professional presentation.
- Experiment with different ice cream flavors like chocolate or caramel to customize your sundae experience.
- For a more adult version, consider adding a splash of bourbon to the chocolate syrup or using a root beer with a more complex flavor profile.
