Ultimate Kahlua Brownies turn a plain brownie into a hot, boozy, ice cream sundae built on a single plate. The coffee liqueur is brought to a boil and poured over warm brownie squares, so it soaks into the crumb and adds a deep roasted note against the fudge and vanilla. The contributor found it by accident, after spilling liqueur on a brownie. Walnut brownies work especially well here.

Instructions

Put one brownie square on a microwave-safe plate and microwave it on high for 20 seconds, or until it is as warm as you like. Repeat with the remaining squares, one at a time.

Pour the coffee liqueur into a pan and heat it slowly over low heat until it comes to a boil. Drizzle it evenly over the warm brownie squares.

Set a scoop of vanilla ice cream on each square and pile a generous amount of sweetened whipped cream on top. Squeeze warm hot fudge over the whole stack, then sprinkle with mixed nuts if you are using them.

Garnish each plate with a mint sprig if you like, and serve right away while the brownie is still warm and the ice cream has not melted.
