Brownie Waffle Sundae

An epic stack of chocolate to celebrate an epic friend. Cue the off-tune singing and somebody light that strawberry on fire.

It might not be cake and candles, but when the birthday friend who this tower of a treat is dedicated to is pretty much the ringleader of dessert for breakfast, a Brownie Waffle Ice Cream Sundae felt more apropos. Like the reverse of dessert for breakfast – 5 layers of ice cream-topped, cocoa-dusted, magic shell-drizzled breakfast for dessert.

Happy Birthday Arman!!!

Brownie Waffle Sundae

I’ve only known him for about a year, but 12 guest posts, 70-something videos, infinite brownies, and lots of laughs later I can tell you he is an even cooler cookie than I ever could’ve imagined. Because behind the sweet treats and sassy captions, he is one of the most thoughtful, loyal, truly kind people I’ve ever met. And a friend I never get tired of chatting with, which is saying a lot for this introvert.

So how is this sundae situation Arman-inspired?

Allow me to explain…

Brownie Waffle Sundae

Brownie waffles. If you think a brownie is a brownie is a brownie…HA. You clearly have not spent enough time in Arman’s recipe archives (My fudgy favorite. My healthy favorite. Mine.) I do not actually think he will ever run out of ingeniously healthy ways to baked fudgy squares of the chocolate variety, so I knew the base of this sundae had to be brownie in some way.

To add a touch of FOF to this party, I used my favorite fruity-floured brownie batter from these Grain-Free Chocolate Brownie Donuts. I cannot possibly promise that any brownie batter will work in a waffle iron, but as long as you nonstick spray the hell out of that thing it’s worth a try.

From one batch of brownie donut batter, I got 5 small-ish waffles. With how rich and chocolatey they are, one plus toppings is plenty for a serving. Unless it’s your birthday too, in which case the sky’s the waffle-stacking limit.

No waffle maker? A scoop of ice cream nestles just as well into the center of a brownie donut, and it still counts as breakfast for dessert. Or if you don’t own a donut pan but had been eyeing that recipe–problem solved. Unless you don’t own a waffle maker either, then muffin away my friend (and please can I rent some of your empty cabinet space?)

Brownie Waffle Sundae

Ice cream. A sundae (and everyday) essential in my opinion. I used simple banana-only nice cream, but knowing Arman and his not-as-fruity-as-me ways he would probably go with something more like this. Which I can tell you from experience is tasty too and so very creamy.

To get the perfect scoop, I blended my nice cream without any added liquid so it was really thick, and then scooped immediately from the blender. Or save yourself a step and just use store-bought vanilla ice cream. You did already make brownies in a waffle maker after all.

Cocoa powder. Cocoa powder blended into nice cream is good. But cocoa powder dumped ON TOP of nice cream is the best! Aside from the minor choking hazard, the bitter + dry contrast to the creamy + sweet ice cream is nothing short of amazeballs. A method I learned from Arman himself and now it’s pretty much the only way I eat nice cream.

But to class things up a little for the sake of photos, I went with a delicate dusting of cocoa powder instead. Had there been no cameras, you better believe I would’ve dumped 10 times as much and skipped the magic shell entirely.

You may have noticed by now that I almost always opt for cacao powder over cocoa powder, but Arman is team cocoa > cacao so for today I used cocoa throughout.

Brownie Waffle Sundae

Magic shell. In my mission to use as many forms of chocolate as possible on one plate, some sort of syrupy sauce was a must. And why not use one that’s magical?

It’s the easiest thing to whisk together, just combine coconut oil + maple syrup + cocoa powder. I usually go a little light on the maple syrup compared to the other two, otherwise it can be too sweet. But I actually rarely measure anything when I’m making this, so winging it and tasting to adjust works too.

Extras. Strawberries because they are deliciously in season and this chocolate party needed a color pop. Chocolate chips, both mini and full-size because we’re celebrating. And sea salt on top because it makes all things chocolate all the better.

Brownie Waffle Sundae

And that’s it.

A little impractical. A lot yummy. And I didn’t even break out the funfetti sprinkles. But no one is going to miss them.

So Arman, even though you are presently off traversing all the lands in the name of your beautiful book baby, may your next year be filled with heaps of hugely-deserved happiness, blogging success beyond what you can even imagine, epic travels to foreign (is)lands, and all the buttered popcorn jelly beans!

Description

An over-the-top insanely delicious celebration waffle sundae featuring brownies in breakfast form, banana ice cream, and plenty of sweet toppings!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 batch Grain-Free Brownie Batter
  • 4–5 frozen bananas (*)

Magic Shell

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder

Toppings

  • Sliced strawberries
  • Chocolate chips
  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the brownie batter.
  2. Take a large spoonful of the batter and roll it into a ball. Place in the center of a hot waffle iron that has been sprayed with non-stick spray, and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  3. Repeat until all the batter is gone (I got 5 small waffles). Allow the waffles to cool while you make the banana ice cream and magic shell.
  4. For the magic shell, whisk together all the ingredients until there are no lumps left. Taste, and adjust the sweetness if necessary.
  5. For the banana ice cream, blend the frozen bananas in a high speed blender using a tamper as necessary. Try not to add any liquid to keep the ice cream thick and scoop-able.
  6. Top each waffle with a scoop of ice cream. Dust with cocoa powder. Sprinkle on chocolate chips and strawberries. Drizzle with magic shell.
  7. Enjoy!

Notes

*Feel free to use your favorite store-bought or homemade dairy-free ice cream instead. Or even this Vanilla Oatmeal Ice Cream!

    TOO. MUCH. FUN. Talk about a perfect birthday breakfast. Freaking brownies and waffles together, all in a sundae at that! Seriously this is such a simple but super playful and fun idea. Love everything about it. PS, I about died when you mentioned the dry cocoa on top – I totally do the sprinkle (maybe more like blizzard) of cocoa powder on top of my desserts too, and while the choking spells when you’re careless are terrifying, it’s usually worth it 🙂

    What in the WHAT is all of this dessert GLORIOUSNESS?? So… even though my birthday is just *a few months* away from Arman’s, can I get just like a few servings of this? 😉 😉 Arman clearly rocks all the socks off and you, my dear, rock all the waffle irons off. Or something. 😂 I can’t imagine a better birthday dedication, or a better dessert to have in celebration. Here’s to all the awesome friends and even more awesome friendships that make this world a better place. 💕 Love ya to the moon and back. Three stacks of waffles for all of us (in lieu of cheers, of course). 🚀 P.S. 🎷🦄🍫🍉👩‍🎤🌂🍇🔮

Whatever that means😂 Waffles and cheers and happy weekend to you❤️💗💜 (P.S. The grapes are a nice touch😊) xoxo

    Wow, I haven’t had magic shell in years! My mom used to make it when I was little, out of melted chocolate and coconut oil, and we just loved it! Thanks for reminding me! And BROWNIES IN WAFFLE FORM?!?! If you do not win a Nobel Prize for this, I will be thoroughly miffed. Do you happen to have a non-banana-flour brownie recipe that will work in here (what with whole-wheat, AP, cake, bread, oat, two gluten-free blends, almond and now coconut flour in my pantry, I don’t think I have room for anything else)?

      It’s one of those wonderful childhood pleasures breaking through a layer of shattered chocoalte to get to your ice cream🤗 And so insanely simple to make! Maybe try this recipe with oat flour and add 1/4 cup cocoa powder to make them chocolate: https://www.feastingonfruit.com/blueberry-oat-flour-waffles/#tasty-recipes-14842

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles

-1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips, melted
-Pinch of salt
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
