Fudgy brownies topped with ice cream and drizzled with a pool of chocolate sauce and served on a sizzler plateÑthis dessert may seem tough but it is one that you can easily recreate at home. If you love all things chocolate, you can always make the party regulars like a rich Cadbury chocolate cake, a nutty praline cake, or a decadent truffle cake, but the culinary delight of a chocolate sizzler brownie is unmatchable. Learn how to make this easy chocolate sizzler brownie recipe at home so you can make this party hit across occasions like your kid's birthday party, marriage anniversary or cozy family gatherings.

What YouÕll Need to Make the Brownies:

• About 200 gm dark chocolate
• 150 gm butter
• 150 gm sugar
• 3 eggs
• 100 gm flour
• About 30 gm cocoa powder
• Splash of vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• 100 gm of chocolate chips or chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts.

How to Get Those Brownies Done:

1. First, preheat that oven to 180¡C. Grease up a square pan (8x8 inches works well) or just line it with some parchment paper if youÕre feeling fancy.
2. Now, grab a bowl and melt the butter and chopped chocolate together. You can use the microwave in 30-second bursts (donÕt overdo it!) or melt it gently over a double boiler if youÕre in the mood to play it safe. Stir it till itÕs all smooth and shiny.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs. You want it to be a bit fluffy and pale. Throw in the vanilla extract and give it a good mix.
4. Slowly, pour the melted chocolate-butter mix into the eggs. DonÕt rush itÑgo slow so everything blends nicely.
5. Time to fold in the dry stuff! Sift in your flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Use a spatula and gently mix until itÕs all combinedÑdonÕt over-mix, or youÕll lose that fudgy texture.
6. If youÕre adding chocolate chips or nuts, nowÕs the time to toss them in and stir gently.
7. Pour that thick, chocolatey goodness into your prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Pop it in the oven and bake at 180¡C for about 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on it, thoughÑyou want the center to still be a little gooey.
8. Once done, let it cool in the pan for a bit before slicing. Or, if you canÕt wait (who can?), dive in while theyÕre still warm and extra melty.

What YouÕll Need to Make the Chocolate Sauce:

• 200 gm sugar
• 50 gm Cadbury Bournville cocoa powder
• 240 ml water
• A splash of vanilla extract
• A tiny pinch of salt

How to Make It:

1. Take a medium-sized saucepan and toss in your sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Give them a quick mix to combine everything nicely.
2. Now, slowly add in the water while stirring. Make sure there are no lumps hanging aroundÑsmooth is the name of the game here.
3. Put the pan on medium heat. Stir it constantly as it heats up, bringing it to a simmer. You want to see some bubbles, but donÕt let it go wild with boiling.
4. Keep stirring for about 3-4 minutes. ItÕll start to thicken up a bit, and youÕll know itÕs getting syrupy.
5. Take it off the heat and stir in your vanilla extract. The smell will be divine at this point, but resist the urge to drink it straight from the pan.
6. Let it cool down, and as it does, itÕll get even thicker. Once it's room temperature, pour it into a jar or bottle and stash it in the fridge.

A sizzler plate usually consists of two parts. The base is a specially made wooden platter which has an indent in the center for the iron plate to rest to accommodate a flat cast iron plate.When selecting the perfect ice cream for your sizzler plate delight, there are several scrumptious choices to consider. Classic vanilla is a fail-safe option; its creamy richness harmonizes beautifully with the warm brownie and decadent chocolate syrup. If youÕre in the mood for something even more indulgent, chocolate fudge ice cream will take your dessert to the next level, amplifying all that chocolatey goodness.

How to put it all together:

Warm up your plate: Start by heating that sizzler plate on a low flame or in the oven until itÕs nice and hot. We want it sizzling but not going up in smoke.

Prepare your brownies: While the plate warms up, slice your brownies into squares. If theyÕre a bit chilly, pop them in the microwave for just 10-15 seconds. You want them gooey and inviting.

Layer it up: Once your plate is ready, carefully place those warm brownie squares right in the center. Next, grab a scoop (or two) of your favorite ice cream. Vanilla is a classic, but donÕt hesitate to get adventurous with flavors that tickle your fancy. Position the ice cream right on top of the brownie; the hot and cold contrast is where the magic begins!

Drizzle That Syrup: Now for the grand finale! Take your homemade chocolate syrup and generously drizzle it over the ice cream and brownie. YouÕll love the way it bubbles and sizzles as it meets the hot plate.

Serve It Up: Bring your sizzler plate straight to the table and get ready for a dramatic show. The sizzling sounds and delicious aromas will have everyone eager to dig into this delightful treat of warm brownie, cold ice cream, and rich chocolate syrup. Enjoy every bite!
