Scale
For the Gooey Fudge Sauce:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the Sundae:
- 4 scoops of your favorite ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, or anything you love)
- Whipped cream (optional, but highly recommended!)

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Gooey Fudge Sauce
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream and butter. Stir until the butter melts and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
- Add the chocolate chips and brown sugar, stirring constantly until the chocolate melts and the sauce becomes smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let it simmer for another minute until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Step 2: Assemble the Sundae
- Scoop your favorite ice cream into bowls or sundae glasses.
- Pour the warm fudge sauce generously over the ice cream, letting it drip down the sides.
- Top with whipped cream, nuts, a drizzle of caramel, and of course, a cherry on top. Add any extra toppings your heart desires!
Step 3: Dig In!
- Serve immediately while the sauce is still warm and gooey. Enjoy every melty, delicious bite!
