Ingredients
  

For the Brownies:
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted and slightly cooled (plus more for greasing the pan)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for sweetness
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract adds a warm flavor
  • 1 egg binds the ingredients together
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour provides structure
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder for rich chocolate flavor
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder helps the brownies rise
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt enhances the sweetness
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips for extra chocolatey goodness
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips for sprinkling on top
  • 3 teaspoons raspberry preserves for the fruity swirl
  • Vanilla ice cream for topping
  • 3 tablespoons chocolate chips for the fudge
  • 1 tablespoon half and half gives a smooth texture
For the Hot Fudge:
  • 3 tablespoons chocolate chips for the fudge
  • 1 tablespoon half and half for fudge

Equipment

  • 8x8-inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Method:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with a little butter to ensure the brownies come out easily.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended. Add in the egg and continue to mix until smooth.
  3. Sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  4. Fold in the 1/4 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed. This will add delightful pockets of melted chocolate throughout the brownies.
  5. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with a spatula. Drop the raspberry preserves by the teaspoonful over the batter. Use a knife or skewer to create a swirl effect. Top with the remaining brownie batter and swirl again to incorporate some of the raspberry preserves into the top layer.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake; you want them fudgy!
  7. While the brownies are cooling, prepare the quick hot fudge. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of half and half. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy.
  8. Once the brownies are completely cooled, cut them into squares. Place one square in a bowl, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and drizzle with hot fudge. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of chocolate chips on top for added texture.
  9. Repeat the assembly for the second serving and dig in! Enjoy your Raspberry Swirl Brownie Sundae For Two while it’s still warm and gooey.
