Popcorn Brownie Sundae!         easy peasy no bake no cook desert

Anyone wants desserts for dinner!!!!!
This recipe is a copy from TGIF UK....and a must try easy peasy no bake no cook desert! My roommates and I tried it at home and was a huge success. though they used caramel fudge sauce..I replaced it with chocolate syrup.



Ingredients:

  • Caramel Popcorn
  • Brownie
  • Vanilla Ice Cream
  • Chocolate Syrup
  • Fresh Cream (thick/ double whipped cream)
  • 2 spoon sugar
  • Chocolate Sprinklers
  • Cherry on the top
Method:
For fresh whipped cream:Can be done before layering the brownie
  • put the metal bowl and whisker in freezer for 10 to 15 minutes
  • add 2 spoons of sugar and one cup fresh cream in the metal bowl and whip till the cream stiff
For Sundae:

  1. In a tall glass layer the inner rim of the glass with chocolate syrup in a circular manner. (as the glass will be transparent do it neatly so the spirals can be seen from out side. P.S. do not over due as we also want the sundae to be seen)
  2. Cut brownie in to small chunks and heat it in microwave for 10 seconds (just has to be warm and not really hot).
  3.  Layer the glass with a bottom layer of 2 to 3 pieces of brownie. 
  4. Add a layer of caramel popcorn (3 to 5 are enough)
  5. Add a scoop of Vanilla ice cream, and drizzle some chocolate syrup.
  6. Repeat the process from step 3 to 5 till you reach the top.
  7. At the top put the fresh whipped cream, sprinkle the chocolate sprinklers and add the cherry at the top....

Variations for the above recipe:

  • You can pop your own caramel Pop corn
  • Use your favorite chocolate and make your own syrup (in a large bowl heat some water, take another heat proof microwave safe bowl and place it in the boiling water, off the flame and add pieces of chocolate in the heat proof bowl and keep steering....chocolate syrup is ready)
  • Make your own brownie (will add the recipe soon and share the link here)
  • Use caramel fudge sauce (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/caramel-fudge-sauce-recipe.html)
  • Instead of sprinkles just top it with 2 popcorn and small chunks of brownie

So who wants desserts for dinner :)...I know you love me to share this recipe.....
