Ingredients
  

For the brownies

  • 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate baking squares coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

For the ganache frosting

  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter at room temperature

For serving

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Fresh raspberries

Instructions
 

For the brownies

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease 9-inch square pan with non-stick spray; set aside.
  • Place unsweetened chocolate and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 90 seconds, stirring after each 30-second interval, until chocolate is melted. Stir in the granulated and brown sugar. Allow mixture to cool slightly before stirring in eggs, one at a time. Stir in flour, vanilla and salt.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until top is set, but a wooden pick inserted in the center still comes out with a few crumbs. Place pan to cool on wire rack.

For the ganache frosting

  • While brownies are cooling, place chopped semisweet chocolate and cream in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power for approximately 90 seconds, just until chocolate begins to melt. Whisk until smooth. Whisk in butter. Cool mixture for 30 minutes before beating with an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes. Spread prepared ganache over warm brownies.

To assemble the sundaes

  • Place a cut square of the ganache-topped brownie in a bowl. Surround with two dollops of vanilla ice cream, and top with fresh raspberries.
Not a fan of raspberries? Substitute any berry you wish: strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries are other terrific options. Fresh cherries would be yummy, too!
