BROWNIE AFFOGATO SUNDAE



Brownie Affogato Sundae image

This sundae takes its inspiration from an affogato, an Italian dessert consisting of a scoop of ice cream or gelato topped with a shot of hot espresso. Here, I add a decadent espresso brownie at the bottom for a twist on the classic restaurant-style brownie sundae with the added bold shot and creamy texture of an affogato. For an extra special treat, serve with any flavor of ice cream on hand: coconut, caramel and pistachio would all be scrumptious!

Time 50m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick baking spray
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick plus 2 tablespoons (10 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Hot, freshly brewed espresso, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square cake pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on at least 2 sides.
  • Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder and salt in a medium bowl until combined and set aside.
  • Microwave the butter and chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl on high power in 10-second bursts, stirring between each burst until melted, 40 seconds to 1 minute. Set aside.
  • Place the eggs, granulated sugar, light brown sugar and vanilla in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Alternatively, use a large bowl and handheld electric mixer. Whisk until pale yellow ribbons form and the mixture is almost tripled in volume, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the mixer and add the melted chocolate. Mix on low speed until no streaks of chocolate remain, about 1 minute. Turn off the mixer and add the flour mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined and no pockets of dry flour remain, about 1 minute.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth with the back of a spoon. Bake until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out slightly fudgy, 26 to 30 minutes. Immediately bang the pan against the counter several times to deflate the brownies and let cool in the pan for at least 1 hour. Lift the brownies from the pan by the parchment paper edges and cut into 16 pieces.
  • To serve, place one brownie in a small serving bowl, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and pour a shot of hot espresso over top. Serve immediately.

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature, plus more for ramekins
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (61%), coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted
Caramel Sauce for Brownie Sundaes, for serving
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter six 6-ounce ramekins.
  • Melt butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat, and whisk in sugar. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until combined. Sift in cocoa and salt. Fold in flour until combined.
  • Using a 1/2-cup ice cream scoop, divide batter among prepared ramekins. Bake until set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 30 to 32 minutes. Let cool slightly, and serve warm with caramel sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful ingredients to ensure the best possible taste. This includes using good-quality coffee, ice cream, and brownie mix.
  • Don't over-mix the brownie batter: Over-mixing the batter can result in a tough, dense brownie. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until they are just cooked through: Over-baked brownies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Chill the brownies before serving: Chilling the brownies helps to firm them up and makes them easier to cut. You can chill the brownies for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
  • Use a good-quality ice cream: The ice cream you use will make a big difference in the overall taste of the affogato. Use a creamy, flavorful ice cream that you enjoy. You can also use different flavors of ice cream to create different flavor combinations.
  • Top the affogato with melted chocolate or caramel sauce: This adds a delicious touch of sweetness and richness. Use an amount of sauce that suits your taste.

Conclusion:

Brownie affogato sundaes are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect brownie affogato sundae that will impress your friends and family.
