Sizzling Brownie

A special dish full of delicious, chocolatey fudgy-ness in a sizzling pan of chocolate sauce, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top then even more chocolate sauce poured on top.... Who on this earth would not love that?

I remembered it just the other day and so set about making one, you know, as I do to make my home recipes. It's a truly interesting food memory from way back for me.

As you can see from the profile picture above, it kind of reminds me of the Lava Cake you see over here in the States, it has a similar taste profile. Yes, you could make these brownies from scratch and they would probably be better, but a box mix brownie is always good too! I was looking for something easy to throw together for any week night dessert.

I chose Betty Crocker's Supreme Triple Chunk brownies as they have more texture with the added chocolate chunks - but you could add those yourself if needed.

If you like brownies, you should check out my Snickers Bar Brownies, it's creating quite a stir. As well as my Banana Pudding Brownies and my Vanilla Brownies (some of my best dessert recipes)!

🧅 Ingredients

• Favorite Brownie Mix (good quality)
• Egg (per mix instructions)
• Oil (per mix instructions)
• Water (per mix instructions)
• Chocolate Sauce
• Scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream

See recipe card for quantities.

🥣 Instructions

• Step 1: Add the brownie mix, egg, oil and water to a mixing bowl and mix just until combined - don't overmix.
• Step 2: Add to an 8x8" Baking Dish, and bake in a preheated oven per the package instructions.
• Step 3: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares. In a hot skillet (hot sizzler plate) over medium flame add some chocolate sauce then add a piece of brownie. Once it starts to bubble add a scoop of ice cream on top of the brownie and pour chocolate sauce again over the ice cream. Eat right away.

Hint: Turn a brownie recipe into a Birthday Brownie Cake! Check out how I made birthday brownies here.

🔄 Substitutions and Variations

• Homemade Brownies - instead of using a box mix, if you prefer making your brownies from your own recipe then perfect. Your typical ingredients would be plain flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, light brown sugar etc. Just follow the remaining steps for the hot brownie.
• Caramel Sauce - Instead of hot chocolate sauce you could try caramel sauce.
• Heavy Cream - If you are out of ice cream you could also pour heavy cream.

See this Hot Chocolate Brownie Bites recipe, that is also on my website!

🔌 Equipment

If you don't have a hot sizzler plate using a small cast iron skillet (like I do) is perfectly fine. You can see my recommended products below in the recipe card.

🧊 Storage

The sizzling brownie once added to the sizzler plate is not going to be able to be saved. You need to eat it then and there. However, you will have 8 more brownie piece that you could save for another time. Store them in an airtight container with a small piece of paper towel, at room temperature for up to 1 week.

💡 Tips

Expert Tip: The brownie is going to cook a little more during the hot sizzler plate part of the cooking process, so don't worry about undercooking your brownies.

As you know, I'm a transplant here in Louisiana, I grew up in Britain. One of my favorite desserts when we would eat out (usually at an Indian restaurant) would be the Sizzling Brownie (or Sizzler Brownie as my sister would call it).
