So delicious that only a small piece - ideally warm and topped with good quality vanilla ice cream - is needed to get your sugar fix
I like cake, and I like cake texture: light and springy and soft. But I do not like my brownies to look, feel, or taste like cake*. Without being sickeningly sweet and heavy, I want my brownies sweet enough a small piece is enough, super moist and just the right density that the weight of a small piece is a little surprising.
Overall, the texture is almost as important as the taste. This recipe is just right. On it’s own, you will be satisfied…
Unless you love contrasts and topping a still hot brownie with vanilla ice cream appeals, then you’re in for a real treat. Use a good quality ice cream and you’ll have yourself a dessert that a good restaurant can’t top!
*My chocolate cake and frosting recipe will be added eventually, though. ;)
