Ingredients
  

  • 1 warm fudge brownie (store-bought or homemade)

  • ¼ cup whipped cream
  • 1 tbsp nuts (optional, but adds crunch)
  • 1 tbsp chocolate curls or chips
  • 1 cherry on top

Instructions
 

  • Warm the brownie — Heat it and place it at the bottom of your bowl.

  • Drizzle the fudge — Let that chocolate goodness melt into the ice cream.
  • Top with whipped cream — Add a mountain of it.

  • Heat your brownie before adding ice cream — the contrast is pure magic.
