This brownie recipe is a delicious treat that can be enjoyed in moderation. Here’s a breakdown of its nutritional content per serving:

What To Serve With It

I love pairing warm brownies with a scoop of ice cream, like vanilla or mint chocolate chip, for a perfect treat. You can’t go wrong adding a dollop of whipped cream on top, either, to make it even more indulgent. These simple toppings turn brownies into an irresistible dessert I always look forward to.

Ice Cream Pairings

Pairing ice cream with brownies can take your dessert game to the next level. I love experimenting with different brownie flavors and ice cream types to find the perfect match. A classic fudgy brownie pairs beautifully with vanilla bean ice cream, while a rich dark chocolate brownie shines with mint chocolate chip. For something fun, try a blondie with caramel swirl ice cream—it’s like a buttery dream. Don’t be afraid to mix textures, either; a warm brownie with a scoop of cold, creamy coffee ice cream is pure magic. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!

Whipped Cream Toppings

Why not take your brownie experience up a notch with some delicious whipped cream toppings? I love experimenting with whipped cream flavors, like vanilla, chocolate, or even a hint of cinnamon, to make each bite extra special. Sometimes, I’ll fold in cocoa powder or a splash of espresso for a rich twist. Topping variations are endless—sprinkle on crushed nuts, drizzle caramel, or add fresh berries for a pop of color and texture. Trust me, pairing whipped cream with brownies feels indulgent yet simple. It’s one of my go-to ways to make dessert feel like a celebration!
